As was stated in another thread, don't know how you feel about Mullet, Friars and Great and Little Bay, but they are generally not as troubled by the seaweed as so many of the other beaches are. Love the ribs at Rosie's, lunch at Friars Bay Beach Cafe and the choices along the Boardwalk on Great Bay are many and good - and if those choices aren't for you, and you're going to be there for a full month, I'd highly recommend Shoal Bay on AXA for a perfect day but no clue as to the seaweed situation there.

We typically visit the island in April and November but I think we’ve actually been there every month except June, July and August and I have NEVER seen a jellyfish there of any variety. That said, my granddaughter was stung by one sometime between Christmas and New Years, and I wish I could tell you where it happened. While I wasn’t there to see it, I was told she was in a great deal of discomfort and did ultimately require medical attention.

I don’t know, Scuba. I only wish we had been there, too. But she and her husband live on the Cape (Cod, that is....) and they literally live in, on and around the water. She was pretty specific about the jelly-fish part although I guess anything is possible.
I’ve seen the clear jellyfish a few times in the late summer at our favorite Rhode Island beaches when the water temperatures are at their warmest, but honestly, in 45+ years of trips to to SXM, often twice a year and a few times more, I’ve never seen a jelly-fish there during our trips.

Have lived here 11 years and swim several times a week at different beaches. Seen jelly's perhaps 4 times and they were the non harmful ones. Few years back some FST's (stupid tourists) were throwing them in the sand to kill them. Had security stop that right quick.
