We occasionally experience this on our coastline, which is beautiful enough already. I can't adequately describe the feeling of diving under the water with eyes open seeing the blue trails coming off my forearms and hands as I paddle lower. I really need to get some goggles or a mask as the salt water limits how much I can do this when it's on. It also affects the wet sand at the shoreline that lights up in your footsteps.
