Short Beach is a kitesurfing spot in Stratford, Connecticut, on Long Island Sound. This compact beach offers Sound access in a residential setting. The spot is less crowded than the larger Fairfield County beaches, offering more tranquility. The position at the mouth of the Housatonic River adds interesting current conditions. Good spot for a quick session for riders in the Stratford and Bridgeport area.
