72%Kids-Friendly

What makes it 72% Kids-Friendly: School-age children can explore tide pools, browse souvenir stalls, and watch a fire dance, but parents must supervise cliffs and slippery rocks and there are no child-friendly toilets, so suitability is decent.

A beautiful place to visit, but do try to visit during low tide so you can walk to the temple which is a much better experience. Otherwise you have to just view it from far. It’s good to come early morning or during sunset otherwise it’s going to be very hot.

While visitors aren’t allowed to go inside the temple, the surrounding area is open...
