Monster jellyfish washes up on a popular beach in front of top resort

A monster jellyfish has washed up on a popular beach attracting the attention of visitors. It's estimated to be one metre in width and was brought in by the tide.

It was found in Fairbourne and some locals think it may have been lured inshore by the 'fishy' algal blooms to the mouth of the Mawddach estuary across the water from Barmouth in northwestern Wales. This isn't the first giant jellyfish sighting on beaches we've seen this year.

In mid-May another giant jellyfish was found on the beach at Aberdyfi, in North Wales. A passerby took a snap of it and uploaded it to social media - causing quite a stir.
