Rach Vem Fishing Village (Starfish Beach), Phu Quoc

A fishing village in the north of the island, 20–25 km from Duong Dong, known for starfish in the shallows along the shore; the last kilometres of the road are red dirt. There are more starfish in the dry season, though sources name different months (from November–February to April–May). Don't lift the starfish out of the water or step on them.
