Video: Glowing beach in the Maldives

The Maldives are considered by tourists from all over the world to be one of the best places for beach holidays. It goes without saying that the sand here is hot and clean, the water is crystal clear, and the landscapes leave you speechless. This you already know. Instead, let's talk about a much more amazing feature of the Maldives — their glowing beaches! Imagine, with the arrival of night, the beaches of some islands in the Maldives archipelago burst into millions of neon points. The starry glow covers both the sea water and the shores, clearly evoking only one word in your mind — magic! But, unfortunately, no, the explanation is much more prosaic. This surreal picture arises from the activity of microscopic organisms called bioluminescent phytoplankton.
