Thousands of dead starfish covered a mile-long stretch of pebble beach in Devon yesterday.
It is thought the creatures were exhausted after spawning, which left them susceptible to wind and high tides.
Marine experts said the starfish probably drifted into shallow waters to feed on mussels and other shellfish but were then brought ashore.
