Great snorkeling site, well worth a visit
Mbonege Beach的点评
点评：Mbonege Beach is only about 12 km northwest from Honiara, but it's about a 40 minute drive because the road is so bad -- you have to swerve constantly to avoid the endless potholes.
The beach itself is nothing special, a narrow strip of sand. The main attraction is the wrecks, which after 80 years have become two living coral reefs, with the metal hull and ribs of the ships just visible. They're in 3-4 meters of water, perfect for snorkeling. The water is consistently warm. Really just a fantastic snorkeling experience.
One negative: there's a sluggish creek behind the beach, which has pools of stagnant water. So there are a LOT of mosquitos in the shade. They won't venture far out into the hot sunshine of the beach, but slather on repellent and keep your car windows closed.
And two cautions: (1) Check the weather in advance. A little rain won't make any difference, and the beach faces onto Iron Bottom Sound so it's almost always calm, but check anyway. (2) When we were there, we discovered a really strong lateral current running parallel to the beach, sweeping us west. Interestingly, the current was only within a few meters of the beach. At the wreck itself, it was almost nonexistent. I've never heard of anyone having problems with rip currents at Mbonege, so this was probably an odd artifact of the tide conditions. That said, be mindful.
Otherwise, it's a great site to kill a couple of hours on a Saturday morning. There aren't a lot of locals -- apparently they tend to swim and barbecue on other beaches. There's an admission fee (which seems to fluctuate, but we paid SBD 100 for three people in a car). I'd recommend going before 10 AM or after 4 PM, when the sun is not so hot. You'll go past a couple of local markets on the way out, including the "house plant market" and the "betel nut market", and if you're feeling daring you can buy some barbecued chicken from a roadside vendor.

翻译：Mbonege 海滩距离霍尼亚拉西北仅约 12 公里，但大约需要 40 分钟车程，因为路况非常糟糕 - 你必须不断转向才能避开无尽的坑洼。
海滩本身没什么特别的，就是一条狭窄的沙子。主要景点是沉船，80 年后它们已变成两块活珊瑚礁，金属船体和船肋清晰可见。它们位于 3-4 米深的水中，非常适合浮潜。水始终是温热的。真的是一次美妙的浮潜体验。
一个缺点是：海滩后面有一条水流缓慢的小溪，里面有一滩死水。所以阴凉处有很多蚊子。它们不会冒险到海滩炎热的阳光下冒险，但会涂上厚厚的驱虫剂并关闭车窗。
还有两个注意事项：（1）提前检查天气。小雨不会有任何影响，海滩面向铁底海峡，所以几乎总是平静的，但无论如何都要检查一下。 (2) 当我们到达那里时，我们发现一股非常强烈的侧流与海滩平行，将我们席卷向西。有趣的是，水流距离海滩只有几米。在沉船本身，它几乎不存在。我从未听说过有人在姆博内格遇到离岸流问题，所以这可能是潮汐条件造成的奇怪现象。也就是说，要留心。
除此之外，这是一个在周六早上消磨几个小时的好网站。当地人不多——显然他们更喜欢在其他海滩游泳和烧烤。有入场费（似乎有所波动，但我们一辆车的三个人支付了 100 SBD）。我建议上午10点之前或下午4点之后去，那时太阳不太热。出去时您会经过几个当地市场，包括“室内植物市场”和“槟榔市场”，如果您胆子够大，还可以从路边小贩那里买一些烤鸡。
