WATCH: HUGE jellyfish wash up on beach on Spain’s Costa del Sol

THIS is the moment a British expat captured huge jellyfish washing up on the Costa del Sol today. 

Briton Mattie Barnett spotted the floating creatures while walking on Caleta de la Velez beach in Velez-Malaga.

“They must have been 2/3ft big,” Barnett told the Olive Press, “They’re the biggest I’ve ever seen, EVER!”

The breed of the jellyfish is not yet known but the Olive Press has contacted environmental groups for comment.
