Rach Vem Starfish Beach

Rach Vem Starfish Beach is a shallow sandy beach at Rach Vem fishing village in northern Phu Quoc Island, Ganh Dau Commune, Phu Quoc City, An Giang Province. It is notable for seasonal aggregations of red starfish visible in clear, shallow turquoise water. The beach features white sand, calm sea, wooden piers, stilt houses and floating seafood restaurants, retaining a traditional fishing village character while serving as a popular ecotourism and photography destination.

Visitors can expect a rustic, low-development beach with fine white sand, very shallow and calm clear water, and scattered fishing boats and stilt houses. In dry season, numerous red starfish can be seen on the sandy seabed in ankle to knee-deep water. The shoreline has simple seafood restaurants on wooden piers, sun loungers and boat services to nearby Mui Ham Rong. The setting is quiet and natural, without large resorts directly on the beach.

Rach Vem has long been a traditional fishing village in northern Phu Quoc, supporting local fishing livelihoods before developing as an ecotourism beach destination known for its natural starfish habitat.

Reflects the fishing village culture of northern Phu Quoc with stilt houses, floating seafood restaurants, wooden piers and small-scale fishing practices maintained alongside tourism activities.
