Found on the island of Vieques just off the coast of the mainland, Vieques Bay is known for being the world's brightest bioluminescent bay. During the day, there's not much to set it apart from the hundreds of other beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, but at night, the water starts emitting a magical blue glow thanks to the tiny bioluminescent organisms that call the bay home. Visitors are welcome to tour the bay on their own, but the best way to see the bioliminescence is to join one of the glass-bottom kayak tours offered by the local tour operators. Map
