“My skin has broken out into a rash, leaving me the uncomfortable feeling. I had to buy medicine to treat it,” she said.
According to a local fisherman Nguyen Van Sang, more jellyfish have come to the shore than previous years.
Nguyen Nua, beach guard at Beach 8 in Son Tra District, said that over the past month, many tourists had complained about being stung by jellyfish.
Jellyfish often appear on Danang Beach in the morning and the late afternoon when many people prefer bathing in the sea. Beach guards have used nets to catch the creatures.
Phan Minh Hai, deputy head of the management board of Son Tra Peninsular and beaches in Danang beaches, said board members had collected a tonne of jellyfish every morning.
