Located in Los Cabos, Baja Mexico, Monuments is an excellent left-hand reef/point set-up that can serve up some perfect spinning barrels when the conditions line up. This can be a heavy spot, the waves break for up to 50 meters over an urchin-infested, shallow, boulder and sand-covered bottom. Take care.

Works on a mid to high tide best.
