Overview

Holiday Isle (now Postcard Inn) is a historic kitesurfing spot located on Windley Key in Islamorada, in the Upper Keys. The bay side spot offers access to Florida Bay with shallow waters ideal for kiting. The easterly trade winds blow side-shore, creating regular flat water conditions during the winter season. Islamorada is considered the heart of the Upper Keys with a very active watersports scene. The spot has long been a gathering place for the local kite community.
