Overview

Kelly Ave is a kitesurf spot located in Gulfport on the Mississippi Sound coast. The launch is from the rebuilt sand beach along US-90, a wide strip of white sand facing the shallow waters of the Sound. The offshore barrier islands (Ship Island, Cat Island) protect the area from large Gulf of Mexico swells, creating a relatively calm body of water ideal for progression. The area offers good fetch for south and southeast winds, the dominant summer directions.
