A nice beach. Went there with a group of friends and had a good swim. I suggest that one of the ways you can beat the heat in Honiara is to go to Bongegi. I indeed like sitting under the trees and enjoying the view.

We had a great dive here - on just one of the two wrecks. It was interesting, though broken up by the waves & environment, so difficult to make out through the coral.

The beach is some way out of town so need a vehicle to get there and must pay the locals on the gate money to enter to site. There is a shipwreck not far from shore which makes great diving. Would highly recommend always travelling in groups when venturing out of town areas.

The water is warm and amazing, full of beautiful fish and the dive wrecks. Sit on the sand and read a mag, have a BBQ under the trees which are right there on the water's edge. Toilets are a bit "rustic" but you get that, it's a wonderful place to be. Probably not so nice in the wet season, make... More

The beach itself is quite average for a Solomon Islands beach, but the shipwreck is literally 10 metres off the shore and is very easy to swim to (and even climb on top of!).

Nice shore dives, easy to access but be prepared to have to pay the dude at the front gate, for whatever reason he feels he needs to be paid. Beware of theft in the car park area, has been a significant recent problem
