Huge bloom in Newport, Rhode Island

Description and Comments

Swam into hundreds of tiny jellies at First Beach in Newport, RI. Not sure what type, but they were everywhere, concentrated by the buoy closest to Cliff walk. None were stingers - I swam right through them with no problem other than feeling icky afterwards!
