Starfish Island

Red starfish scattered across a shallow sandbar, with water as clear as a swimming pool. A good spot for photos and splashing around with kids.

Starfish Island is a small sandbar off the coast of Port Barton. The surrounding shallows are crystal clear, only knee- to waist-deep, and you can often spot clusters of red bread starfish. The island has simple bamboo huts and coconut palms, making it ideal for swimming, photos, and a short rest. It's about 15 minutes by boat from the village. Please don't lift the starfish out of the water, as this can harm them. It is usually combined with German Island and Twin Reef on the Island Hopping Tour A.
