Review:

While small, measuring only 9 by 5 miles, Jersey Island off the UK coast is unique in many ways. The history and geography have made it a mix of English reserve and French flair, with a distinct cosmopolitan vibe, timeless harbor, hidden valleys, great shopping, and incredible natural beauty.

Jersey is a popular tourist destination for visitors from both the UK and mainland Europe, whether for a short weekend or a longer holiday.

Among the many unique attractions that Jersey has to offer is the spectacular bioluminescence that lights up the sea at night as the ocean recedes to the low tide and star-like flashes of luminous green light twinkle in the shallow water.

The best way to experience this phenomenon is to take what is locally called a "moonwalk," a stroll across the shallow water possible only until the tide returns, when the footprints are submerged by 40 feet of water and the light has gone.
