Did anyone see the bioluminescence last night on the beach??? I really want to see it and hope it happens again tonight. I have seen it before in the Bahamas but not here. Crossing my fingers. Below is a link for an article and pictures in the Destin Log.

Thanks for posting this, Alyoopster!

I'd love to see this phenomenon! I just sent the link to a biology professor friend of mine. Thought it might be an interesting thing for her to discuss with her classes.

I heard it is better in Destin so i might check it out tonight in hope it is still active.

I was at Ed Waline and then i went down by Stinkys and it was lighting up off shore. They say in Destin it is in the wave break up close and you can make it light up when you rub your feet or hands in the sand.

A friend told me it was very active at the Crab Trap on Old 98. I believe the pictures in the Destin Log were taken near Whales Tail.

We went to Whales Tail & Crab Trap last night & didn't see anything, but did have a fantastic time with the kids on the beach in the dark so it wasn't a total loss. Unplanned family time is the most fun. (Especially on a school night for my kids.)

Now we know next time it happens to go out right away when we hear about it. Lesson learned!
