Most warm water has jellyfish. The colder the water the less jellyfish.

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

I wonder how many of you visit beaches more than once a year. Of course there are jellyfish in the OBX, Hilton Head and many parts of FL, not to mention other places named on this thread, too. Just because you didn’t see jellyfish in early June in Hilton Head doesn’t mean they aren’t there in July/August.

As others have said, jellies like warmer waters. So usually you’ll see them earlier in Hilton Head, NC, and the Dae beaches than NJ beaches, but maybe OP is staying in NJ on an islet or bay with warmer waters.

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

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


Here are the beaches I’ve enjoyed and didn’t encounter stinging jellies in the water:

Hilton Head
Anna Maria island
Lido Key
Siesta Key
St Andrews park beach in Panama City Beach FL
Destin FL
Rosemary Beach
Another 30A beach but forgot the name
Maho and Trunk bay beaches in St John
Rainbow beach and Turtle beach in St Croix
All over Great Exuma in the Bahamas
Cozumel near the cruise port
Castaway Cay (Disney island)


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

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

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?

It's climate change. They love warm water.
