Beaches glow at night because of a process called bioluminescence. There are lots of beaches across the world that light up when it gets dark and this happens due to the process of bioluminescence.
Many beaches have phytoplankton, a form of microalgae that floats on the surface of the ocean water. They are responsible for the fluorescent bluish colour that is seen in the water at night.
Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism. The light emitted by the organism is produced by energy released from the chemical reactions occurring inside the organism. In the ocean, most types of animals, from bacteria to sharks, include some bioluminescent members.
In Japan, beautiful glittery shrimp glow in the dark on the boulders of Okayama Beach. The 3mm shrimps are more commonly referred to as sea fireflies that actively feed at night by swimming close to the shore. Their glow lasts for 20-30 minutes and reignites when water is poured on them again.
In India, located 10 km away from Udupi, Mattu Beach is a secluded destination that glows in the night due to the bioluminescence created by the microorganism called Noctiluca. Commonly called sea sparkle, the marine-dwelling species of dinoflagellate exhibits blue light when disturbed.
