Position is the OpenStreetMap node for Restaurante Playa Estrella. Others along the beach to the west include Bar Playa Estrella, Eilyn/Donde Eilyn, Doña Agnes, Donde Mena, Ana, La Cigua, Playa Blanca, Palabras Mágicas and El Buen Sabor (OSM). Tour boats crowd the beach by day, and it is calmer after about 6pm (noforeignland). Anchor off in 8–10 m with good holding (see Starfish Beach Anchorage) and land the dinghy on the beach away from the swimmers. Hours are mostly daytime. Do not touch or lift the starfish.
