Market sights in Guadalcanal

1. A Map

   Central Market

   • Honiara, Solomon Islands
   • Sights › Market

   While Honiara won't be mistaken for Dakar, the bubbling Central Market assails your senses. The country's principal food market covers a whole block between Mendana Ave and the seafront. It has a huge selection of fresh produce, especially fruits and vegetables, that come from outlying villages along the northern coast and from Savo island. Also on sale are crafts such as Malaitan shell money, souvenir shells and jewellery. The fish market is at the back (follow your nose).

   There's no bargaining, and there's no hassling to buy anything. Utter bliss.

2. White River Village

   • Honiara, Solomon Islands
   • Sights › Market

   Betel nut, anyone? The friendly Gilbertese settlement called White River Village about four km west of the centre is mostly famed for its betel nut market. Wooden stalls selling the much sought-after commodity are lined cheek-by-jowl along the main road.
