Often called the Brightest Bioluminescent Bay in the World
Puerto Mosquito (Mosquito Bay) is located on the southern shore of the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico. This magical bioluminescent bay is one of the brightest recorded in the world.
Please do not leave Vieques, Puerto Rico without taking a tour of this magnificent and magical natural wonder, it will be a memory to remember for a lifetime.
In the waters of Mosquito Bay there are organisms named Pyrodinium bahamense, Dinoflagellates (dinos). These "dinos" are responsible for this amazing natural phenomenon. When the "dinos" come into contact with another organism or shaken they produce a bright burst of blue light.
Mosquito Bay is the perfect environment for this "dinos". The Bay is small and shallow and the mouth of the bay is small, so the bright tiny organisms are trapped and protected in the bay, making it very, very bright.
The mangroves surrounding the bay provide the perfect nutrition for the Pyrodinium bahamense. Any changes in the delicate ecosystem can diminish the healthy balance of the bay.

"Illuminated Vieques A guided tour on a motorboat isn't the way most romantic evenings begin, but once you slip your body into Mosquito Bay, a bioluminescent lagoon off the island of Vieques, you'll have forgotten the exhaust fumes. Millions of "stars" (actually, they're microscopic organisms in the water) light up with a stunning blue-white glow, and scatter with every splash you make. Spielberg couldn't ask for better special effects."
