jkx Posted November 20, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Heading to Coco Cay next week. Anyone see if the jellyfish are still there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renza Posted November 20, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Should not be an issue. It’s generally when the water is at the hottest. July and Aug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeb1990 Posted November 20, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 20, 2022 There were jellyfish at Chill Bay when I was snorkeling there at the end of October. Didn't stop me from enjoying myself, although I was stung three times. Hurt like a bee sting to me, not as painful as I imagined they would be.

brevardcruiser Posted November 21, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 21, 2022 We saw jelly fish in august. No big deal. Enjoy the vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted November 21, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 21, 2022 There were lots in October when we were there. From reading on-line, and here on CC, they have gone away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matj2000 Posted November 21, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 21, 2022 No Jellyfish. Just watch out for the Sharks.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're small and harmless, but looking down and seeing sharks swim past still ups the heart rate a bit the first time you see one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted November 21, 2022 #9 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I have been to Coco Cay multiple times in the last few months. From my experience sometimes you see lots of jellyfish and sometimes you don’t see any. I have also seen multiple sharks too as someone else mentioned, but they have always been very small. I also haven’t noticed any difference based on the beach location (i.e. I have seen jellyfish at different beaches and not seen jellyfish at these same beaches on different days).

Joseph2017China Posted November 21, 2022 #10 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Yes, the ocean has marine animals.....jelly fish and sharks. Do be careful, they don't read Cruise Critic, so they don't know when they are required to show up 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welly9 Posted November 21, 2022 #11 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Seen the sharks, a few times, mainly around South Beach and the floating bar, they wait and lurk for the drunken swimmers 🤣 no but serious they do swim around the shallows, bait fish are plenty there. But like I always say as a fisherman too where there are the babies or smaller ones, there are the mommas and papas near by! 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted November 21, 2022 #12 Share Posted November 21, 2022 We spent almost all day at Cococay's Thrill Waterpark the last 2 times there and we did not see jellyfish or sharks. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted November 21, 2022 #13 Share Posted November 21, 2022 There was a lemon shark in early October, a large stingray and a few barracuda when we were there. That was along with the many jellyfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeriod Posted November 23, 2022 #14 Share Posted November 23, 2022 There small sharks there ,but this one was over 5 feet and swam right in front of me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinMamainMN Posted November 30, 2022 #15 Share Posted November 30, 2022 We saw small jellyfish at South Beach in September. Our friends on the same cruise went on the jet ski excursion and one of them got stung by a jellyfish toward the end of the excursion time (wherever they start and end).

lizinindy Posted January 15, 2023 #16 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Do not lean up against an underwater rock to adjust your flippers. Tiny stationary jellyfish living on the rock shot their tiny barbs all over my calf. It was a mess! Took a long time to heal because I scratched my leg and burst all the poison sacs.

kristap Posted August 30, 2023 #17 Share Posted August 30, 2023 And this is why I ordered a long pair of swim pants in addition to a long-sleeve rash guard. I'll probably remove them once I'm done snorkeling, but I hope that will be enough to not get stung by a jellyfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
