What makes it 60% Baby-Friendly: Natural tree shade and ankle-deep shallows help with baby paddling, but no nursing room, no changing table and only basic park toilets mean parents must bring gear and manage hygiene themselves.
Positives:
- Calm shallow water: The natural reef barrier keeps the water ankle-deep for 20–30 m, safe for baby paddle-play
