    It’s a fun few hours in Bocas Del Toro area. Definitely worth seeing. Keep walking past all the bars and restaurants to get to the starfish. Don’t be in a rush for food- definitely on island time. The walk to the beach is through the marsh area but nice. It is crowded but there are plenty of starfish for all to see.

    Do not fall for this tourist trap. The advertised starfish are fake plastic ones (hence the signs not to touch them) β€” made in China. To get there, you first endure a rollercoaster bus ride, then brave an hour-long perilous jungle trail where you can easily get lost. A machete is a must, and even then, sloths can get you or you’ll be hit by a falling coconut. Nothing beautiful to see. Avoid!

    The beach is great because it has huge starfish which you should not touch or take out of the water. Just enjoy your wildlife. I took one starfish out of the sea to take a picture out of my ignorance. Later, I read that they can die because of that. Visiting recommended.

    This is one of the most beautiful things around Isla ColΓ³n in Bocas. And if you were doing 5 km Open Water swimming during a hard competition, this beautiful Stars on the deep are much more beautiful to see. πŸ₯°πŸ˜ŽπŸ€™
