Feature of the beach "Starfish" in Boca del Drago

At first glance, this beach in Panama is in no way inferior to other sights of the country, but there is in it some zest that attracts travelers from all over the world. From the very name you can understand what you will see when you come to this sun-drenched beach. So, its main marine inhabitants are orange starfish, which daily sail ashore in order to refresh themselves. Even not crystal clear water, and not diving activities attract most of the tourists, namely these miracle-stars. With them you can safely be photographed, knowing that the photos will be unsurpassed. Everyone has the opportunity to admire the sea bottom veterans, who appeared on our planet more than 500 million years ago.

The only thing that should be remembered: in any case, do not touch the asterisks with your hands and, even worse, do not remove them from the water. In this case, they are doomed to perish.

If there is no desire to encounter a crowd of curious tourists, local residents and photographers, it is better to come to the beach of sea stars early in the morning on a weekday.
