Starfish Beach is useful as both a wildlife stop and a cruiser shore excursion. The attraction is the shallow, clear water where sea stars can be seen without removing them from the water.

Cruiser access

Point of View Exuma specifically recommends anchoring off Starfish Beach, looking for the starfish and using the trail toward the ocean side.

Before you go

Use normal anchoring and dinghy-landing judgment; wind, tide and beach approach can change conditions.

Low-impact note

Observe sea stars without handling them and keep them submerged.
