Richard turned to a local facebook group to post: “Please be careful in or on the beach we just nearly walked over this.
“Huge jellyfish. Put my shoe there just to put some perspective on the size of it.”

Richard had been having an evening paddle with his wife when he spotted the jellyfish stranded on the beach.
