Not much you can do about them, but it sound like you have a car so pick your beaches if you can with the wind blowing out to sea, that what we always did.

If you kill all the sharks, tuna & other big fish that feed on them, what do you expect!

Totally agree, anytime I go diving in menorca there is a total lack of fish. Makes me laugh when you see all the little boats out at sea with fishing line over the side, there wasting their time really.

We see a few jellyfish every year and my son got stung a few years back. I would be interested to know how people treat stings. The advice on line is contradictory.

The nhs advises to scrape off any tentacles stuck in the skin off with a bank card or similar and bathe with sea water then soak in hot water as hot as can be tollerated or place hot towels on
