Tok Bali beach closed due to jellyfish threat


PASIR PUTEH: Members of the public, especially children, are banned from swimming and holding any type of activities at the Tok Bali Beach here, due to jellyfish presence in the area.

Two jellyfish carcasses were discovered washed ashore on the beach two days ago, said Pasir Puteh Civil Defence Force officer Nik Mohd Nor Nik Mat.“Lately the beach had been a popular swimming spot and we fear swimmers would fall prey to these dangerous sea creatures,” he said.
