Groups of blue jellyfish have been spotted on a North East beach after high temperatures in the water have brought the sea creatures onto the shores of the region.

On Sunday (July 21), the blue jellyfish were spotted at Redcar Beach - with the animals scattered across the sand next to dog walkers and people enjoying the sun.

Despite plenty of people on the beach, many passed by without a second glance - with the sun shining off the jellyfish; giving them the blue tinge.

It’s believed that the return of the jellyfish has been linked to the rise in temperatures in the water, as the heat outside the water reached over 25 degrees on Sunday in Redcar.
