Ardora Sea, the manifestation of marine bioluminescence, which transforms the water into a play of blue and greenish lights at dusk, reaches its peak between July and September, becoming one of the most sought-after natural attractions for tourists in our region.
Due to the low levels of light pollution and the quality of its waters, the Costa da Morte is one of the most privileged locations in the country to witness this phenomenon.
The exact timing of the Ardora Sea cannot be predicted because it depends on various environmental factors.
However, according to experts, moonless or new moon summer nights offer the best conditions for observing it.
The months of July, August, and September are the ideal months, with the beaches of Carnota, Estorde and Gures (Cee), Rebordelo (Cabana de Bergantiños), Ézaro (Dumbría), Os Riás (Malpica), and A Ermida (Ponteceso) being the most privileged locations.
Experts in sustainable tourism and marine conservation recommend arriving with low expectations and with patience, as this is an unpredictable natural event.
