The remains of a “monster jellyfish” which was washed up on a Merseyside beach<\/p>\n
A “monster jellyfish” was spotted on the Merseyside coastline this week, with the local council offering advice to people visiting the beach as the hot weather<\/a> continues.<\/p>\n With temperatures rising across the region as we officially head into summer, it is common for jellyfish to appear in waters around Merseyside, including Sefton<\/a> which is home to some of Merseyside’s nicest beaches.<\/p>\n But one beachgoer told the ECHO <\/a>how they spotted what they described as a “monster jellyfish” on Crosby<\/a> Beach. They said: “You couldn’t move for jellyfish yesterday. Every 50 metres, there was another one.<\/p>\n “Most were fairly small in size, but one was monstrous, it was quite shocking to see. Some of them were on the beach, and others were floating on the swash. I’d hate for anyone to get stung while swimming or walking.”<\/p>\n A council spokesperson told the ECHO <\/a>it advises people to avoid touching jellyfish that appear on the shore and to keep dogs under close control.<\/p>\n A spokesperson for Sefton Council<\/a> said: \u201cIt is common for jellyfish of varying sizes to be spotted along our coastline during the warmer months.<\/p>\n “There are a variety of jellyfish that live in our seas and while some may be harmless, some can give a painful sting.<\/p>\n \u201dWhile we can\u2019t know for sure the type of the jellyfish from looking at the photograph, most jellyfish found in the UK do not cause serious harm.<\/p>\n \u201cHowever, we advise people avoid touching them and keep dogs under close control while enjoying our natural coastline.\u201d<\/p>\n For the latest news and breaking news visit http:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/news\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n Get all the big headlines, pictures, analysis, opinion and video on the stories that matter to you.<\/p>\n Join the Liverpool ECHO Breaking News and Top Stories WhatsApp community to receive the latest news straight to your phone by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Jellyfish](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/0_BHR_LEC_200625_JELLYFISH2jpeg.jpg\")
