A show of light and water has arrived on the Central Coast. And the best bit? It’s absolutely free.

We’re talking about brilliant bioluminescence that is turning a few of our Coast beaches into illuminated blue spectaculars.

Bioluminescence is a natural phenomena where microorganism emit light when moved by the waves.
