Point Cruz is a small peninsula in the centre of Honiara, home to the main yacht club and the commercial wharf. It is where Honiara's modest café and restaurant scene concentrates — a few places to eat and drink with views over the harbour.
The point also has historical significance: it was the site of a decisive moment in the Guadalcanal campaign when American forces repulsed a Japanese attack in October 1942. Today it is simply a pleasant spot to sit at the end of the day, watch the fishing boats and inter-island ferries, and look out across Iron Bottom Sound to Florida Island.
