Is the Sea of Stars real?
I fairly frequently see pictures online of this semi-mythical glittering beach in the Maldives. However I can't find any accounts of people having actually visited it and reported on how it was.
Can anyone tell me any hard information about this destination? Is it real? Are these pictures photoshopped? Does it really glitter like this?

I've seen this in Byron Bay, Australia, it wasn't quite as pronounced as those photos make it out to be if I recall correctly. It's amazing though, as you swim through the water the glowing intensifies as you move through it.

Answer 2
You can see from the photos that they are long exposures, which will make the "bugs" look a lot brighter than they will appear to the naked eye.

It will be seen all along the west coast, but only when there's a "red tide".
