Virginia Beach 1st Street Jetty is a kitesurfing spot near the Rudee Inlet jetty, at the south end of the Virginia Beach boardwalk. This advanced spot combines ocean conditions with strong Rudee Inlet currents. The jetty creates a reference point and can generate interesting waves. Virginia Beach is the main kitesurfing spot on the Virginia coast, benefiting from regular northeast (nor'easters) and southeast winds. The Hampton Roads kite community is active here.
