Just look; do not lift the starfish

Starfish are living animals. Leave them lying in the water, stand and look or shoot from above and that is enough; please do not lift them into your hands for a photo.

Whether you see starfish depends on nature, the season and the water. No trip should promise a guaranteed sighting of wild animals.

  • Never lift starfish out of the water
  • Keep off the seagrass beds
  • Carry your litter back to the proper bin

Keep the sea clean so it is still beautiful next time

Every small choice a visitor makes helps keep the sea for the local community and for those who come after.
