Yellow and red flags for jellyfish on several beaches in Málaga city and province

Notice for bathers enjoying this Friday at the beach in Málaga city and some areas of the coastal province, with yellow and red flags waving and a specific one for the presence of jellyfish. The Malaga City Council has placed the yellow flag on nine beaches due to the appearance of numerous jellyfish, which until now this summer had barely been sighted on the coastal strip of Málaga.

When going for a swim, caution is advised this Friday on the beaches of El Palo, El Candado, El Dedo, Pedregalejo, El Peñón del Cuervo, La Araña, El Candado, La Misericordia, San Andrés, and Guadalmar. There is also a yellow flag, although not yet for jellyfish, at the beaches of Campo de Golf-San Julián, La Caleta, and Sacaba.

Meanwhile, in the province, flags are also starting to be raised this Friday as a warning for the presence of these invertebrates. For example, in Nerja, they are already waving on the beaches of El Salón, El Playazo, Calahonda, Burriana, and Maro.

Also, warning flags have been raised due to the abundant presence of jellyfish on the beaches of Rincón de la Victoria (even red in some areas of the municipality), as well as in Marbella, at El Cable and Guadalmina beaches.

If jellyfish are found, all contact with them and the water around them should be avoided. It is also not advisable to touch the dead specimens that may be found.
