Starfish Point

Starfish Point in Grand Cayman is a serene escape that’s well worth the visit. We arrived mid-morning and were pleasantly surprised by the ample parking just steps from the beach—making access a breeze, even on a busy day. The short walk from the lot to the shore only heightened our anticipation, and it didn’t disappoint. The water was absolutely stunning—crystal-clear, calm, and shimmering under the Caribbean sun. It’s shallow enough to wade in comfortably, which made it perfect for spotting starfish without needing to snorkel, though bringing gear wouldn’t hurt for a closer look.

We could see several fish swimming around but the starfish were the highlight, of course. There were enough scattered across the sandy bottom to keep us enchanted—vibrant red and orange cushions dotting the seagrass. We loved watching them in their natural habitat, and the clear water made every sighting a photo-worthy moment. It’s a quiet spot, far from the hustle of Seven Mile Beach, with a laid-back vibe that invites you to linger. Palm trees offer some shade, but bring sunscreen and water since there are no vendors—just restrooms and parking as amenities.

The beach felt secluded yet accessible, a perfect balance for a half-day outing. Nearby Rum Point is a great add-on for lunch if you’re making a day of it. Starfish Point delivers natural beauty and a chance to connect with marine life—simple, unspoiled, and memorable. Highly recommend for anyone visiting...

We made the trip to Starfish point our final destination of our coastal exploration for the day before heading back. It is an open to the public area, but unfortunately some of the public seem to lack the decency to police up their own trash. (-1) The coast line is taped off or bits of string strung about between trees to ostensibly delineate between self proclaimed camp sights. So, you kind of get the vibe that you’re not welcome to walk by along the beach in front of those areas, but we did and no one said a word. The Starfish are abundant despite what the signs in the area say. They just aren’t on the shore or within the first few feet. You have to wade in to knee deep water and there you will find them. Please do resist the temptation to touch, pick them up, or assist them. As the signs indicate it does more harm than good to them. Think how unnerved you would be to be picked up by some alien creature and prodded or poked. Just admire them in their natural environment and be grateful they are still here. The water is surprisingly warm and clear, but can get cloudy with up kicked sand if there are a lot of people around. Plenty of space for everyone so enjoy exploring. Beautiful views of the bay. Plenty of Starfish or sea stars to be found. Cleaned and maintained restrooms at the parking area a...

Saw some beautiful starfish here but was saddened to see jetskis pulling right up alongside them, party boats pumping out rap music, full of US tourists who were in the water drinking beers, smoking cigarettes and running through the shallow water playing volleyball paying no attention to whether starfish were going to be trampled under their feet. I called out to them to alert them to the fact they were running through the water where the starfish are but they totally ignored me and carrued on. This took the complete edge off things and made me really sad. At this rate I don't know for how much longer people will be able to see starfish here 😔😪.

Starfish Point needs better signage - update the signs to state it is illegal to touch the starfish. The sign currently reads it is only illegal to remove them, which clearly leads to the belief it's ok to pick them up.

Set hefty fines for touching them. Widen the buoy markers to stop the jetskis and boats from...
