Nature displays magical beauty in places that are already among the most beautiful in the world. We are talking about the phosphorescent waves. Tourists travel the world to get a glimpse of the phosphorescent waves that light up at night. There are two glows that illuminates and the glare that obscure. This phosphorescent is usually caused by algae present in the water like fire flies in the air. The algae emit a glow whenever they are jostled. It is caused sometimes by tides rolling in and out or by motion of a boat or a fish moving through the water.

Today the beauty of the night can all too often be obscured by the glare of business that surrounds the beaches of the world. Bioluminescent tides exist throughout the world. This glowing water seems like little twinkling stars. This colourful display attracts thousands of tourists who imagine that they are swimming among the stars.

Puerto Mosquito, Vieques, Puerto Rico: This magical bioluminescent bay has been officially declared the brightest in the world by Guinness Book of world records. Vieques Island has one of the world’s best bioluminescent bays. The dinos present in the waters are responsible for this amazing natural Phenomenon. The dinos come into contact with another organism or shaken up, they produce a bright burst of blue light. It is the best experience during a New Moon phase. Don’t skip out your trip of Isla de Vieques without taking a tour of this magnificent and magical natural wonder. It will be a magical, priceless memory to remember for a life time. The Kayak cruise is perfect to experience this close up.
The Blue Grotto Malta: it is said to be one of the spectacular natural sights in the world. It is reachable only via specially licensed boat. Blue Grotto is just one of nine caves .The caves on Filfa Island are surrounded by tall cliffs. These waves constantly pound the caves thus producing the Phosphorescent glow.

Ton Sai Karbi, Thailand: don’t miss out the extraordinary fete of nature at the  at Ton Sai. The planktons that dwell in the deep water light up and glitter. It’s super trippy. Try walking in the deep waters you will see your footsteps glowing. It’s like witnessing fairy dust.

Navarre Beach Florida: one can enjoy Kayaking during the warm summer months, especially around Indian River and Mosquito lagoon. The water glows as both boaters and fish move through the water. The fish looks like blue comets. The ocean beaches also glow from time to time.

Mission Bay, San Diego: Due to the mass amounts of bioluminescent algae the waves of the ocean are red during the day and neon blue at night. These algae sometimes emit toxins that are dangerous to our health. So make sure you check out the satellites imagery for the day to see if you can go for a swim or not. If swimming is not possible you can always kayak to take pictures of the wonderful glow.

Halong Bay Vietnam is known for its emerald water and stunning natural beauty. Halong Bay is among the most breathtaking bioluminescent bays. Also regarded as a UNESCO world Heritage site. Halong Bay has plenty to explore, ranging from the caves to the wilderness to limestone islands. It is truly a traveller’s dream come true.

Waitomo, New Zealand: Marvel at Mother Nature’s light display as you glide silently through the starry wonderland of the Glow-worm Grotto. It is purely unique. It may sound surprising but bioluminescence doesn’t just exist in the sea. Head to the caves in Waitomo and you’ll be awe struck. The walls of the cave are covered with tiny glow-worms that light up the cave.

Torrey Pines Beach, San Diego, CA is a coastal bioluminescent beach. The waves give a vivid blue glow as they crash ashore and it is visible only after nightfall.

Experience this beautiful work of nature. You don’t have to be above the clouds to dance with the stars. Just head to any of these bioluminescent beaches and bays and experience once in a lifetime.
