At the Jersey shore, jellyfish in abundance….so tired of this. The jellyfish are worse every year
Where can our family vacation in the future where our chance of getting jellyfish stung is like 2% rather than 95%? Would fly almost anywhere in the world for a beach without these f*ckers |

| Avoid anywhere in North Carolina and South Carolina from July on when the water is hot. That is when they are more prevalent, especially in August. |

I thought that about hot water too, but the water here in Nj is *cold* and they are everywhere.

| Jellyfish are present in both hot & cold water as they just float along with the current. Some jellyfish stings can be deadly. |

| Antartica? The worldwide increase of jellyfish is a consequence of global warming and your intention to fly everywhere is part of the problem. |

| Can confirm lots of them in Myrtle Beach already. |

Except it's rare their are the fatal jellyfish on the east coast of the USA. In Australia I'd be more concerned. Op, it can change by the day. If today is bad, the current might wash them somewhere new tomorrow. Go to the movies this afternoon and try again tomorrow. |

Op here, the thing is, it *doesn’t* change by the day. We are on day 4 of jellyfish invasion. We have come to this NJ beach for over a decade and it’s gone from being an occasional problem to being impossible to get in the water without being stung.
I can’t stomach the expense of going to a beach if we can’t even swim. I know global warming is contributing to this, but I just want to swim in the ocean & my family’s one week annual vacation is a drop in the bucket compared to the global use of fossil fuels which I sadly cannot solve. Where can I go next year that would prevent this or make it very unlikely to happen? Because honestly this is a huge bummer and while we are trying to have fun, it’s a disappointment I don’t want to repeat |

| Are you near a jetty? They love the wood. |

| We are in Fort Myers, Fl, and there are no jellyfish. |

Isn’t June early for jellyfish?
Are there jellyfish up in Martha’s Vineyard, Cape Cod and the Hampton’s? Next year, maybe try the Caribbean. |

| You need a lake or a river. Most, not all, beach destinations with winnable water will have them. We had tons in the Med last year! |

| West coast. Still have never seen one at my childhood beach in Santa Barbara. It’s freezing cold though and it isn’t fun to swim with all the seaweed and tar. |
