| Wear a full bodysuit. That’s what I do. I even wear socks because once the sting on my ankle swelled so badly. |

| I was just in LBI (NJ) last weekend and we didn’t notice any more than an occasional jellyfish (the ocean was freezing, though!). |

I got stung by a stingray in Fort Myers. Most painful thing of my life. So its not free from stinging thingies. |

| Go further north. Rarely see them on the cape or Nantucket |

| It's climate change. They love warm water. |

We go to Sandbridge almost every year and I've never had any issues with jellyfish. You see little ones washed up on the beach sometimes, but they're not stinging ones.
We go in August though--is it a time of year thing? |

But you’re safe from jellyfish which is what the OP wants. |

Hmmm jellyfish are well-known to be in Hilton head in late July/all of Aug. |

| We used to go to the NC Outer Banks every summer and we never saw jellyfish. Those beaches are beautiful. |
