While it’s best to avoid touching starfish, gentle touching of the West Indian sea star is permitted at Starfish Point. Do not remove them from the water, as they cannot breathe out of water, and avoid rough or excessive handling, which can cause stress. Use reef safe sunscreen well before handling any starfish.

There are limited facilities at Starfish Point, so it’s best to bring what you might need: food, water, swim kit, and snorkeling gear.

Yes, you can swim and snorkel at Starfish Point. There’s a large shallow area right off the beach, which then drops off to around 10 feet (3 meters), while snorkeling is a good way to see more starfish in the deeper area. Be careful of boat traffic when swimming or snorkeling.
