We love our beaches and for many of us, that’s why we live here. During the warmer months, generally November – May, Marine Stingers may be present in our tropical waters.
Take a few simple precautions and minimise risk associated with the potentially dangerous jellyfish (marine stingers):
Swim at patrolled beaches and between the red and yellow flags.
Look for, and observe, warning signs.
Where provided, swim in marine stinger enclosures.
Wear protective clothing (full body lycra suits).
Do not swim where and when beaches are closed. .
The link below lists the status of all beaches with stinger nets. It’s a great resource.
