Its between Port Lincoln and Elliston, past Sheringa, about 20 minutes out of Elliston you will see a massive salt lake and a "monument" road sign, you just take the turn off there, take this road until you are above a cliff then look down and there it is, a right hander breaking in front of a cliff.

Watch it before you paddle out because there are rogue clean up sets, can be dangerous getting in and out when big so take care!

- Unless you live on the side of the cliff in front of the break everyday of your empty life eating fish with the dolphins, you are not freakin local. Give it up, every surfer on the planet would know were Monuments is, it's not that hard. And to people who steal things from surfers cars or any ones car for that matter, remember this, coppers on the Eyre Peninsular surf, quite a few, that's why I take down all other vehicles regos. You steal shit from my car and I will be knockin down your door.

respect - I love this part of Oz, been coming here since 04 from West Oz and have had nothing but epic times down here. I have a lot of respect for the local lads and never had any drama, sometimes get some dirty looks in the car parks due to traveling in a pack of 4 on most occasions which is understandable but we would never paddle out all 4 of us at the same time if there was local crew out in the water. Everyone respect the local crew and hopefully respect will be given back, to the local boys dont slash tires, smash windows, steal shit out of cars etc if someones done something wrong confront them face to face and let them know about it. Thanks for letting us share the waves, see ya soon!
ps monnies isnt overrated it just over publicised due to the setting giving so many opportunities to snap a good/different shot
