Where the waters of the seashore are illuminated by hundreds of living microorganisms (plankton) that light up when they hit the waves. The light is usually so bright that even fish can be seen in the water.

Really enjoyed the trip out to the site in a can-Am quad. Host was super cool and informative. Not the best time of year for the bioluminescence, but still saw lots of light when moving through the water. Good astrological lesson also. Very fun!

It's not the season and customers should know about it, the price should be reduced for this time of year. We saw two specks of light.
