Monument Beach is a secluded beach located within Conjola National Park on the New South Wales South Coast, situated between Berrara and Bendalong. The beach is named for a monument commemorating the 1870 shipwreck of 'The Walter Hood'. Access for paddlers is via Cedar Road, which runs off Bendalong Road, leading to the Monument Beach picnic area. This area provides basic facilities including restrooms, picnic benches, and drinking water fountains, serving as a quiet base for visitors. The beach itself is set in a forested area, offering scenic views of a rugged coastline and the expansive ocean. The overall character is one of a quiet, natural setting within a national park. For paddlers launching from shore, the beach provides direct access to the ocean. A notable nearby paddle destination is Lake Conjola, which can be accessed directly from the lake's edge, offering a contrasting protected water experience to the open coast. The beach and surrounding park are free to access. The area is known for its natural beauty, with wildflowers like crimson waratah and yellow wattle blooming in spring, and features towering turpentine and blackbutt trees in the adjacent Conjola National Park.
