The Laguna Grande and Bioluminescent Bay, located in Fajardo, are best appreciated on a moonless night so that the microorganisms living in natural bioluminescence water irradiate. Several ecotourism tour operators offer kayak trips. It will be an amazing experience!

This beach is protected by breakwaters and so the water is calm and teal blue. There are also lots of reefs you can see from the shore, as the water is darker in those areas. Where there are no reefs you can easily see the bottom. You can enjoy a walk by the beach, refresh yourself in the water, do snorkeling or enjoy the sun. A beautiful spot!
