Heh I've been to that beach, my grandparents used to be the only people that lived year round on an island 10 miles off the coast of NH.
I had an argument with my 6th grade geography teacher about the fact that I knew for sure that NH had a coastline.

"Questions remained as to how a single jellyfish was able to sting such a large amount of people."

errr, maybe cause they kept poking it ?

Apparently, the tentacles broke off as the lifeguard attempted to get the DEAD Lion's mane jellyfish out of the water. The tentacles can still sting for hours after the jellyfish has died and after being removed from the jellyfish! I don't think many people know that. Heck, I didn't know that until now!
