Stinger nets are back at Boathaven and Cannonvale beaches, ready for another Whitsunday summer. Whether you’re cooling off with the kids or enjoying a dip, the enclosures provide a safer place to swim during marine stinger season. Stinger nets reduce the risk of stings but aren’t completely stinger-proof, so consider wearing a protective stinger suit, even inside the enclosure. Keep an eye on warning signs and never touch marine stingers, even if they’ve washed ashore.
