The beach in Havelock, when the currents bring in a large number of planktons to the shore, you can watch the exhilarating phenomenon of bioluminescence. The shores light up in neon colored streaks under the pale moonlight. Every tourist should visit a bioluminescent beach once in a lifetime. This phenomenon happens when the tiny, unicellular creatures called phytoplankton are floating by the water surface.
