Approach Point Cruz lining up the post in front of the yacht club with the post further up on the hill. There are green and red (unlit) buoys marking the entrance. The latest C-MAP ED3 2012 is correct, some of the older C-MAP ED2 show you off to the W on the reef.

Entrance
Honiara is a port of entry for the Solomon Islands. For details see Entrance: Solomon Islands.
Berthing
Anchoring stern up to the seawall is it seems harder than it used to be, as this space is currently taken up by local charter boats that it seems have moorings off the seawall.
There is also a new big dock in the middle that has recently been constructed and takes up a fair amount of space.
Marinas & Yacht Clubs
Point Cruz Yacht Club is on the shore at the head of the bay. It is the place to land your Dinghy and fairly safe to leave it. The Club is more a hang a out-bar for the older expat crowd than a yacht club but they are generally friendly and helpful. The Club offers free temporary membership to overseas visitors. The bar and kitchen are open for lunch and dinner. Cold showers and laundry facilities are available plus WiFi.
Anchorages
As at Oct 2012 there are 7 visiting cruising yachts here all swinging free on the W side of the harbor near the yellow mooring buoy. The mooring buoy can be rented - see notice board at point Cruz club.
