Suitable for families with children

Family verdict

Go with kids 3–17 to enjoy Devka Beach rides, fort exploration, and boat adventures. Skip if your child needs specialized medical care, since medical facilities are limited. Wear sturdy shoes for fort cannons and uneven ground—strollers won't work here.
