According to historical data from the CSIRO marine stinger database, Palm Cove recorded a staggering 216 marine stings, making it the second-highest recorded sting location in the dataset.

And with stinger season just days away, it’s a timely reminder that paradise comes with a few precautions! 🪼

We’re not here to scare anyone out of the water. Quite the opposite! We want Northern Australian families enjoying our beautiful beaches, safely.

☀️ Wear a full-length stinger suit.
🌊 Swim inside designated stinger enclosures.
🪼 Always follow local marine stinger warnings.

The ocean isn’t off-limits. Just don’t go in unprepared.

TOO SALTY TO SIT ON THE SIDELINES. 🌊

Stinger season doesn’t mean the end of ocean adventures.

We’re raising a generation of salty little ocean lovers, and we’re not about to let a few jellyfish keep them on dry land.

Cover them up. Teach them the risks. Choose safer places to swim. And let them keep doing what kids do best — exploring, swimming and making memories in the big blue.

Because the goal isn’t to teach our kids to fear the ocean. It’s to teach them how to enjoy it safely.

Protect your crew. Keep them salty. 🤙

STINGER SEASON IS DAYS AWAY. 🌊

And the numbers speak for themselves.

According to historical CSIRO eAtlas data, 79% of recorded jellyfish stings occurred between November, December and January.

That’s right. Three months account for nearly 80% of recorded stings.

But stinger season doesn’t mean sitting on the sidelines.

Swim in designated stinger enclosures, listen to your lifeguards and make sure the whole family is covered.

Have you got your family’s stinger suits sorted?

Don’t wait until the stingers arrive to get salty. 🤙
