Jetty Island

WIND DIRECTION

N / NW

SCENE

The area’s premiere light wind summer kiting spot. the water is fairly shallow for a long ways out making it a perfect spot to learn and progress. At low tide the beach is huge! it is an island so crossing the 300m channel is the only obstacle. Many use inflatable boats or kayaks (life jacket & whistle required) to cross. there is also a free ferry that typically runs from July 4 through Labor day.
