Introducing Glistening Waters

At night, Glistening Waters (also known as Luminous Lagoon), a large bay at Rock about 1.6 km east of Falmouth, boasts a singular charm – it glows an eerie green when the water is disturbed. The green glow is due to the presence of microorganisms that produce photochemical reactions when disturbed. The concentrations of microorganisms is so thick that fish swimming by look like green lanterns.
