HOW TO GET THERE?

Take a shared van (colectivo) from Simón Bolívar park in Bocas Town to Boca del Drago (30 mins). From Drago dock, walk the flat 15-minute jungle path along the water or take a local lancha boat directly to the sand.

History & Origins

In October 1502, Christopher Columbus anchored his fleet just north at Boca del Drago to wait out heavy storms. The name "Drago" came from the dangerous dragon-like current in the outer channel, while Estrella remained a quiet indigenous fishing cove for centuries.

Real Talk & Safety

Never lift starfish out of the water—they breathe through tiny skin gills and suffocate in seconds. Also, bug spray and chemical sunscreens on your hands poison their skin. Admire them underwater with a mask.
