Outer Banks, too - not so that the whole expanse of water glows, but they twinkle like stars falling in the surf at night.
When the surf crashes.
Not exactly St Elmos Fire, but very cool.
One of my fondest memories growing up on the Banks...watching the stars in the surf. Add some female company and liquid libation, and stir....
I used to love to swim in it out there, until I learned that sharks ID’ed prey by the glow of the water disturbance. Bad idea to be in the ocean in low light period. It was stunning though, like liquid Disney pixie dust.
