Starfish Island
A small island whose shallows are scattered with red and orange starfish, where you can snorkel from the shore, a standard stop on Honda Bay island-hopping tours.
The shallow sandy seabed around Starfish Island is dotted with starfish and sea cucumbers, and many tropical fish swim along the shoreline. This makes it a good spot for less confident swimmers to snorkel while standing. The island has coconut groves, bamboo huts and simple food stalls, and snorkel gear can be rented. The landing fee is about ₱150. Please do not lift starfish out of the water for photos, as this kills them, and stepping on corals is also prohibited. It is about 30 minutes by boat from the pier.
