Rach Vem Starfish Beach
Rạch Vẹm
A shallow bay on Phu Quoc's north coast where many red starfish lie in the clear water. Stilt-house seafood restaurants over the sea make it a photo hotspot.
Rach Vem is a small fishing village on the north coast of Phu Quoc. The bay is shallow and calm, and seagrass beds on the seafloor are home to many red starfish. In the dry season, when the water is clear, you can see them just by standing in the shallows, which is why it is called the Starfish Beach. Stilt-house seafood restaurants built over the water let you eat while watching the sea. Please don't lift starfish out of the water for photos, as they can be harmed after just a few minutes out of the sea. The roads are remote, so it's best to hire a car or ride a motorbike. It's about 40 minutes from Duong Dong.
