A gentle half-day around the starfish village
Start early. Leaving town so you reach the shore between 7:00 and 10:00 AM gives you the calmest water and the most starfish in the shallows.
Good to know
Spend the first hour wading slowly at the beach, keeping your distance from the starfish and taking photos with a waterproof case. Then walk out along the wooden bridges toward the floating houses, which sit 200 to 400 meters offshore. Some families welcome respectful visitors, so a quiet greeting goes a long way.
Practical tips
If you still have energy, local boats make a 10-minute crossing to Ham Rong Beach, also called Dragon's Jaw Cape, where there are fewer visitors and dramatic rock formations. Passengers sometimes spot dolphins in the channel.
