About Mosquito Bay
Why this place stands out
A protected Vieques bay famous for an exceptionally bright concentration of bioluminescent microorganisms.
Mosquito Bay is experienced after dark, when microscopic dinoflagellates create blue-green flashes around moving paddles and fish. Access is controlled through authorized tours to protect the ecosystem. Moonlight, rainfall, weather, and water conditions affect visibility, and swimming is not permitted. Reserve well ahead and confirm transportation on Vieques.
