This was the scene after hundreds of giant jellyfish washed up on beaches across the South West.

The dustbin lid-shaped barrel jellyfish covered the sands at Cefn Sidan sands in South Wales and at Dawlish Warren on the south Devon coast.

Beachgoers were today advised not to touch the specimens which, despite not being considered a danger to humans, can leave a sting similar to that of a nettle.

The jellyfish at Dawlish Warren were photographed by Claire McDonald who was shocked to find the shore covered.

She said she counted at least 130 and they stretched as far as she could see along the beach.
'They were evident as far as the eye could see. I've never seen so many in my life,' she added. 


Beachwalker Sarah Harrison, 22, reported an 'incredible sight like something from a sci-fi movie' as she made her way along Cefn Sidan sands.
