You will find the Starfish Animal in the rocky outcrops on West Coast beaches at low tide.

You can find a Starfish Animal by combing the rocky outcrops of the West Coast of Vancouver Island. It is best to search for a Starfish at low tide on the rocks, where tide pools form as the tide recedes. There are many marine animals locked in to these small pools until the tide returns. A fun recreational activity is to visit the west coast beaches for beach combing or spectacular photography.
