Starfish Point, Beach attraction in Rum Point, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
The transparent waters of Starfish Point shelter numerous red cushion sea stars visible from the surface in depths ranging from 2 to 10 feet.
The northern coastal area transformed from a quiet fishing spot into a protected marine sanctuary after the discovery of substantial red cushion sea star populations.
Marine conservation officers actively educate visitors about the proper handling of sea stars, emphasizing the importance of keeping them submerged in water at all times.
Visitors can access Starfish Point through an hour-long drive from Seven Mile Beach or by joining boat tours that combine visits with Stingray City excursions.
The red cushion sea stars at this location utilize specialized tubes on their undersides for movement and feeding, while detecting light through small eye-spots.
