Jellyfish day at the beach

We went to this beach we have not been to for 2 years.  Its was so amazing.  It was a rare sunny day and we spend 4 hours walking from one side of the beach to the other.  We found over 30 jelly fish on the beach.  One was about 1m and a couple like the moon jelly fish were small.  Most were plate size of bigger.

We saw compass, lions mane and moon jelly fish.
