Starfish Beach

Starfish Beach (Playa Estrella) is one of the nicest beaches in Bocas del Toro for families with young children or those looking for a postcard-perfect, peaceful beach. This is a small beach notable for its abundance of starfish and shallow, turquoise water with no waves. The beach is located in a harbor on the backside of Isla Colon in the Bocas del Toro area, protected from the ocean waves.

The beach is easily accessible and very popular – particularly on weekends – but it is not as congested as other Panama beaches. You may relax on the beach, go swimming, rent a floating chair, kayak, snorkel, or go wakeboarding if you are feeling more daring. Restaurants providing local and international cuisine are nestled among the swaying palm trees just back from the beach. It is a short cab journey from Bocas del Toro's main town. Moreover, it is a short taxi ride from Bocas del Toro to Boca del Drago, then a short boat ride to Starfish Beach.
