IT GLOWS...


The Water That Glows..in la Parguera.
Vieques Island in Puerto Rico offers one of the best swimming experiences. The name Mosquito Bay may not sound enticing, this shallow body of water reveals secrets even during dark nights with no moonlight. It is the water that glows. No, not with radioactivity, but within each gallon of the bay, there are 720,000 phosphorescent single-celled organisms that glow when they are agitated. Swimming in Mosquito Bay will bathe your limbs in blue-green light. Like the Dead Sea, the salinity of the water is so high that you can float sitting upright, instead of sinking. Have fun floating and glowing in this rare and endangered Bioluminescent Bay.
