One of them, anyway.
But the s-ful version seems to be fairly common, particularly when attributive. All kinds of things Google up like "Bering Straits Native Association" and "Bering Straits Region."
See http://wikitravel.org/en/User:Mousy_mouse/Bering_Straits_Bridge about the completed bridge across the strait. It has both forms.
