Kids Friendliness Rating

Suitable for families with children

Family verdict

Go with kids 3–17 — shallow beaches and fort exploration offer safe, hands-on activity. The main risk is limited medical facilities, so travel with a basic first-aid kit and know the nearest clinic location before arrival. Strollers won't work on island terrain, so plan for carriers or walking shoes for younger children.

Why this rating?

  • Safe shallow beaches
  • Fort exploration
  • Small island
