Jervis Bay has been awash in red algae lately, producing a widespread algal bloom. Combine that with the fact that it’s holiday season and that it has been very widely publicised on social media and on the radio and TV and you get big crowds checking out this natural phenomenon. I did my best to stay away but in the end the temptation was too strong and I joined the crowds out on the beaches of the bay to photograph the bioluminescence.
Location
Plantation Point is a located on the western edge of Jervis Bay in Vincentia. It’s one of my favourite spots for sunsets in the bay because you can walk out onto the rock shelf and photograph the sun setting over the water with the tripod.
