From bioluminescent bays to desert stargazing, the world’s offerings are sometimes best seen at night. Explore some of our favorite evening activities below.

These shallow bays are home to hundreds of thousands of microscopic dinoflagellates that transform the water into a brilliant blue-green when swirled. Make the trek from Dorado Beach to Laguna Grande, near El Yunque National Forest, where you can kayak through mangrove channels to see the waters shine.
