What to Expect
Hardings has a huge audience of swimmers and sunbathers. It is a family beach. It is restricted due to the heavy population of people so Hardings is a launch only to ride over to Monomoy Island which has much better conditions to ride. Monomoy is shallow and offers sand bars at low tide. You need to be an intermediate to advanced level to ride there because you have to cross a boat channel with heavy boat traffic and strong currents. Being under powered is not an option because in the channel there are seals and (man eating) sharks that hunt fish coming out of the Stage Harbor.
