Important Notice – Lions Mane Jellyfish - Aug 2025
There have been recent sightings of Lion's Mane jellyfish at some Fingal beaches and may be spotted at our other beaches over the coming weeks.
Fingal County Council wishes to advise that from the middle of August and up to the second week of September, conditions are ideal for Lions Mane jellyfish: there could well be a noticeable increase in their numbers on our beaches and in our waters.
We urge bathers to be extra vigilant on all of our beaches where Lion's Mane jellyfish are found. Please note that even when they’re dead and washed up on the beach, the venom stays in their tentacles for a few days. With so many long trailing tentacles there is a chance you could still get stung, even when you try not to swim near them. Also, fragments of the lion's mane jellyfish's tentacles that break off in the water will sting you, even if they're no longer attached to the jellyfish.
A sting from a Lion’s Mane jellyfish can cause nausea, sweating, cramps, headaches and other symptoms and severe stings should seek urgent medical attention.
Where the lifeguards have noticed a large number of Lions Mane jellyfish, they may raise the red flag to advise against swimming. If you are stung on a lifeguarded beach – please approach the lifeguards on duty for assistance.
