Giant, Stinging “Lion’s Mane” Jellyfish Wash Ashore in Maine—Here’s What to Know

A massive, crimson-colored jellyfish with hundreds of stinging tentacles has been spotted on Maine beaches, sparking warnings from local officials.
Over the weekend, beachgoers in Maine encountered an unusual sight: a 5-foot-wide lion’s mane jellyfish washed ashore, its bell-shaped body oozing what some described as “bloody blobs of goo.” The striking—and potentially dangerous—sea creature prompted the City of Portland to issue a public warning: “Don’t touch it! They sting. Observe it. They’re so interesting to watch, and pretty too.”
While jellyfish sightings aren’t uncommon, the size and frequency of these appearances have raised eyebrows. Here’s what you need to know about these gelatinous giants and why experts are urging caution.

The Ipswich Police Department in Massachusetts also issued a warning after multiple jellyfish sightings, advising swimmers to stay alert.
Authorities recommend:

Myth Busting: Contrary to popular belief, urine does not effectively treat jellyfish stings. Instead, rinse the area with vinegar or saltwater and seek medical help if needed.
While lion’s mane jellyfish are a natural part of marine ecosystems, their growing presence near shorelines poses risks to swimmers, fishermen, and beachgoers. Their stings, though rarely life-threatening, can be extremely painful—especially for children or those with allergies.
Marine biologists suggest that tracking these sightings helps researchers understand shifts in ocean habitats. If you encounter one, snap a photo (from a safe distance) and share it with local marine conservation groups.
