Jelly Firsh

We are going to be in St. Maarten in January, and was wondering if anyone knew if there will be jelly fish in the water that time of year or if they even have jelly fish? We are wanting to try snorkeling, however I am allergic to bee stings and I don't want to take the chance of getting stung by a jelly fish and have the same kind of reaction. The last time I was going to try snorkeling, was a Great Stirrup Cay, in August, and there was so many jelly fish that I wouldn't go in the water at all. :o Thanks in advance!!

We've been to St. Maarten many times in the January/February time frame and jellyfish have never been a problem for us.

Thank you!!

We spend two weeks in St. Maarten every January - hitting most of the beaches: we have never seen any jellyfish.

Anyone seen them in November? My son was stung badly a few years ago (in nc) and would freak if he saw one again.

Personally I have never seen jellyfish in St. Martin but I did see a warning about them posted at Baie Rouge in July of this year.

Thank you all for all your information!!

Not regularly, but several times we have experienced Jelly Fish on Orient Beach during a visit during September and/or October. Perhaps the warm water had something to do with it.

The Beach Boys and others tossed many of them out of the water using leaf rakes. I was brushed by at least a few, and they weren't the stinging kind, apparently, but they were definitely there.

This has only occured on Orient, during those time frames.
