Swimming at night surrounded by glistening blue water in Jamaica

the water in the Jamaica Luminous Lagoon is a little unusual in colour (grey-brown) and also there is no sand. Yet the lagoon flooring really feels a little bit like jelly or a soft peat mud because of the mangroves and silt that boils down from the river and also rainfall. It's a weird sensation but you get used to it quite promptly. Using good water shoes.

Falmouth Lagoon makes up part of the Trelawney marshlands of north Jamaica and also stretches from Rock to Falmouth.
Unlike the extra well-known Jamaican resort areas, Falmouth is a charming historic town where you'll take pleasure in peace. You can also explore the 18th as well as 19th-century-style homes and old sugar haciendas on horseback.

It is a special bay that is bordered by mangroves as well as was created where the fresh waters of the Martha Brae river meet the Caribbean Sea. Jamaica's Luminous Shallows is home to billions of naturally taking place "bioluminescent" microorganisms, i.e. they illuminate when touched. You can not see them throughout the day, but by evening, splashing the water causes a creepy blue glow. The little microorganisms are harmless to humans and it's secure to swim along with them. The blending of both fresh as well as salty water fills the bay with brackish water, creating the ideal environment for these tiny creatures to grow.

The shallows lies simply outside the historical community of Falmouth, Jamaica, regarding half an hour from Montego Bay. Falmouth Shallows is just one of the largest and most great sparkling lagoons worldwide. By day it's a beautifully peaceful and also plain shallows; during the night it's alive like a Jamaican reggae event, with the slightest motions making it glow bright-neon blue. This light show prompted locals to refer to as the lagoon 'Sparkling Waters' and 'Luminescent Shallows'. The phosphorescence of the shallows is due to the microbes that call these waters home.

Jamaica Luminous Lagoon: Brightest BioLuminescence on the planet.

The Luminous Shallows is a bay as well as all-natural phenomenon with harmless bacteria called dinoflagellates that produce blue-looking light when disturbed. When this occurs we obtain bioluminescence in the world which triggers a thrilling radiance of ultra blue light across the shallows when the water is sprayed or touched.
