Jellyfish season, Bahamas?

[SL6827]

We went to Destin one year during the month of September not knowing it was high time for jellyfish season. Won't make that mistake twice. But what about the Bahamas? Are there a bad influx of them at the end of September into October there?

Just went to castaway on Friday and didn’t see a single jellyfish. We vacation on 30A every year - in the summer and fall. Sometimes there are jellyfish, sometimes there aren’t. They don’t stop me from going into the ocean - on 30A or in the Bahamas.

They were so bad in Destin that September we went, it was unreal. Everywhere.

Were in St. Thomas 2 weeks ago and the jellies abounded everywhere. Mainly Moon Jellies and the little ones the size of a half dollar. Neither were the stinging variety.

We've sailed 3X in September and have never had any issue in the Bahamas.

I haven't seen any during May, which is when we have sailed before.

We were on Castaway and Lookout beginning of Oct this year and didn’t see anything

I live at the beach. Jellyfish tend to be more prevalent when the water temps get very warm. Here in South Carolina, they're worst in late August/early September. Per Google, peak jellyfish season in the Bahamas is March-August.

We just got back from a cruise last week and have cruised this time of year multiple times before with no jellyfish issues at Castaway or Lookout in the Bahamas at least.

What is 30A?

we were in Bimini and Nassau last week and didn't see any at the beaches but there were waves. On the pier we did see them though. Maybe they don't enjoy waves.

What is 30A?

It's a stretch of state road on the gulf coast of Florida, like Panama City Beach and nearby? I think? I live in Atlanta, but I am from the Atlantic coast of Florida so I don't go to those places like my fellow Atlantans do haha

What is 30A?

Its the highway in the Florida panhandle that connects Panama City, Destin, and several other beach communities.
