Nonoy Starfish Island

Nonoy Starfish IslandNonoy Starfish Island is a picturesque destination within the Island Garden City of Samal, just off the coast of Davao City. This small island is famed for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and abundant marine life, particularly the large starfish scattered across its sandy seabed, which inspired its name. Visitors are often enchanted by the surreal experience of swimming amidst these unique creatures in the shallow waters.

Aside from marveling at the starfish, you can enjoy various activities like snorkeling to explore vibrant corals and underwater fauna or simply relax on the fine white sand. The calm and clear waters make it a perfect spot for both seasoned swimmers and families looking for a serene getaway. Starfish Island is usually a stop during island-hopping tours in the Samal area, which also includes attractions like Coral Garden and Isla Reta.

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Nonoy Starfish Island is during the dry season, from December to May. During this period, you can expect sunny days and calm waters that are ideal for snorkeling and swimming. The region is generally spared from typhoons, making it a reliable year-round destination. However, visiting in the dry season ensures clearer visibility for underwater activities and more enjoyable outdoor experiences.
