lagoon

Poé beach is one of my favorite spot in New Caledonia.

There are few obvious reasons for that, its crystal clear water, white sandy beach, 17 Kms long... ho and yes, there is also the barrier reef that offers some decent wave riding sessions for kitesurfers!

I will add more pictures but in the meantime I will try to give you enough information for you to fully appreciate what this beach has to offer.

Poé is great for all levels, debutant to expert.

There is even a Kiteboarding school (http://www.poekiteschool.com/englishframe-2.htm) and everytime I spend a weekend or a day there I do stop for a nice coffee at their snack bar.

For details wind, clouds, wave conditions do check windguru: http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?sc=6470

Happy session and I wish you a wonderful year 2007!
