Hi - I seem to remember reading somewhere that Sunny Beach has a lot of Jellyfish in the early season April - May.....but they "move on" when the season really gets going. I wouldn't worry too much about them tho as they are not exactly the box jellyfish or such that you find elsewhere.

Regarding jellyfish, we were in sunny beach last year, going back in 8 weeks and counting!!, and there were loads of jellyfish in the sea but they were not a problem, our 11 year old daughter and loads of other kids and adults alike were picking them up, and as someone else said, loads of jellyfish and fish = clean water!

get a diving mask if you dont feel conftable ,you will then be able to see whats around you,get some fins too,will open a new world to you,buy them here as abroad cost more and useally crap,put mask to face breath in if mask dont fall off,it fits and should not let in water.

Was in Sunny Beach for the first 2 weeks in June and there were loads of tiny jelly fish in the sea the day after a bad thunderstorm. They were completely gone the next day.

Took my kids to a beach here in the North of Ireland yesterday. Jellyfish everywhere, some of them were quite big. So not just in Sunny Beach.

in Elenite last year there were loads after a storm. Those that were clse to the shore were not that big and the kids were collecting them without being hurt. Further out though they were hugh!

Just returned from Sunny Beach and saw jelly fish - though again there had been a storm before the sightings

yes would say it is a problem, I have been going here for the last 4 years in july and there are virtually hundreds every year. if you do not snorkel you probably would not know.

We had a wonderful holiday in Sunny Beach 2 yrs ago. We just loved the miles of sand and the clean clear sea, where me a non swimmer could wade out such a long way in the lovely warm sea, One problem was the loads of jelly fish which came in on the tide. Can anyone tell us is that still the case or why so many and do they sting if stepped on?

Jelly fish are a plenty in Sunny Beach but we never had any problems with them as both my husband and our kids and loads of other people would pick them up, and no stings!!!

Hi, we came back from Sunny Beach 2 weeks ago and we did see a couple of jelly fish. They are quite small and we only saw one or two each time we went in the sea. None of us were stung and as there is little movement tide wise, you can walk away from them easiely enough.

I have a 2 year old so was a little worried about jelly fish but they really were nothing to worry about.

Been here a week almost
Been in sea almost everyday, and I love spending time in sea (ask my red burnt back!!!!)
Not seen one Jelly in sea or washed up and I've walked about 3 miles between SB and Naz
As ppl have said they're not dangerous
Fear not

Still, its a great way of getting your kids out the water

Hi everyone

This is a question from my husband :!: Are there jelly fish in Albena?- he has been told that there are Portugese Man of War out there :shock: I was telling him how safe the sea was for kids- which one of us is right :?:

Thanks
