It lies 52.3 km north-west of Placentia, NL (from Placentia, NL: bearing 311°T), and is situated 22.5 km east-south-east of Terrenceville.

The air here carries a crisp, clean scent, tinged with the distant brine of the ocean, a constant reminder of the vast expanse that lies beyond the horizon. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-brooding skies, falls in broad, golden swathes, illuminating the sturdy, practical architecture of the homes and the quiet diligence etched onto the faces of those who call Monkstown home. The history of Monkstown is deeply entwined with the bounty of the land and the resilience of its people. Early settlers, drawn by the rich soil and the promise of a new beginning, carved a life from this landscape, their struggles and triumphs echoing in the weathered barns and the quiet endurance of the community. The local economy, once heavily reliant on agriculture, now also finds strength in its connection to the sea, with fishing boats bringing in their hauls and a small but vital processing plant humming with activity. Along the main thoroughfare, the general store stands as a quiet sentinel, a place where the day's news is exchanged and the enduring spirit of Monkstown is palpable, a place where traditions are not merely remembered but lived.
