Suitable for families with children

Family verdict

Go with kids 3–17 to watch wooden ships being hand-built at the shipyard and play on the beach. Skip if your child won't tolerate prolonged sun exposure, as shade is limited throughout. Bring a pop-up beach tent and plan visits for early morning or late afternoon.
