Starfish Island

.

One of the most beautiful places in the Philippines is Honda Bay. It frames the rocky and enthralling coastline of Puerto Princesa. Lots of tourists and local residents would love to go there for island hopping because of its cool clear water and coral reefs. One of the islands found in Honda Bay is the Starfish Island. I’ve never seen a beach containing that much of starfishes. It really goes with the name. The starfishes are alive and of various sizes. The beach management does not permit taking them out of their natural environment. You may touch them and play with them but you have to put them back to the water afterwards.

Starfish Island is also a nice site for swimming and snorkeling. You’ll be able to see there different types of fishes and corals.

There are stores and restaurants in the area. You can also have a picnic on the sand if you want. Cottages are available if you'd like to stay and enjoy in the island for a few days.
