Beach days are indeed fun. You can build creative sandcastles or slurp a good cocktail alongside the shore. You could also feel the breeze and the sound of waves.
But what about beach nights?
The dark beach brings you a spectacular view of Mother Nature’s magic. The Bioluminescent waves are returning to the beach. The glowing waves are nothing but nature’s invaluable bounty. A lot of these beaches also offer boat tours or swims to bring out the most of the Bioluminescent waves.
How do these waves glow? Is it science or is it magic? Is it harmful to your skin? Where can you see it? If you are curious about these waves, scroll through the blog to nd the answer.
