What Is Bioluminescent Bay?

Bioluminescent Bay is a bay in Grand Cayman Island filled with bioluminescent plankton. Plankton within the bay create light by releasing energy through a chemical reaction. These creatures are so small that it’s hard to see them, thus giving the appearance of the water lighting up. It’s so rare that Grand Cayman is one of 12 locations in the world where you can see this. 

Where Is Bioluminescent Bay?

It is located on the island’s northern side in Cayman Kai, near Rum Point, just south of Rum Point Beach.
