Located on the border of the cities of San Clemente and Dana Point, Poche Beach lies near the intersection of North El Camino Real and Camino Capistrano. Adjacent to the Shorecliffs Beach Club and running close to active train tracks, this beach is mostly rocky with some stretches of light brown sand. The Poche Creek meets the ocean near the beach, often flooding the area during rains and storms. There are oceanfront residential areas both to the north and south of the beach area. Poche Beach has no lifeguards or any other facilities.
