Luminous plankton on white beach Baru
During the day, visitors can enjoy the white sand and crystal clear water of the Caribbean Sea.
At night a phenomenon occurs «Luminous plankton» almost unique that can be seen in few places on the globe.
The presence of an algae triggers a reaction that makes the water glow with unique hues at night
