The bus eases away from George Town and the air changes — salt and sun replacing the city’s diesel breath. Windows frame cobalt sea and a coastline where limestone meets surf; palms lean like audience members watching the tide. On arrival at Starfish Point you’ll step into warm, shallow water where bright orange and pink sea stars cling to sandy flats, patient and unbothered as cameras come and go.
