In reply to Paul. Wooow. This place has definitely changed! When we visited there were only another 5 tourists on the beach. It's a shame that this incredible place was spoilt. I just hope that the starfish will survive.

Visited 21/12/2019. The pier and other restaurants dump rubbish into the sea. The place was swarming with tourists picking up these delicate creatures. There was a stench and rubbish everywhere. There would have been more than 300 people there. We left after 5 minutes.

In reply to Myriam. I am so sorry to hear this. Unfortunately people are irresponsible. When I visited the Starfish Beach there was a lady taking the starfish out of the water. I got so mad that I went straight to her and told her that what she's doing is not ok because she's hurting the marine life. :(

It s unfortunately horrible there. Full of tourists unconscious touching , carrying and taking out the stars from water. I stayed 5 min and thought I will cry or kill somebody. The government have to react, humans are too stupid for an instagram picture

In reply to Giovanni. Wow! thanks so much for this message. I am sure that this information will be helpful for so many people! I didn't visit this beach during the sunset. Therefore, the sand flies were not a problem. Thanks again for sharing!

I’ve been there in april with my girlfriend and was amazing…sad part is that during the sunset hours you don’t realize that thousand of sand flies would eat you totally! On the next day we waked up with 120/150 bites all over the body despite repellent and without noticing any bite during previous night. Bites were so itchy abd laste 2-3 weeks so we had to take antistamimic and really a lot of aloe and cortisone cream…did someone got the same bad experience? Please share !!

In reply to Enric. I wish I could help you but I haven't visited the Starfish Beach during the rainy season.

I am thinking to go this beach tomorrow but one friend told me that as is now rainy season maybe we won’t find starfish there. Anyone could confirm this?
Thanks
