My daughter was complaining about them when we were at jolly beach 2 weeks ago. Didn't like the beach or facilities at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted February 1, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 1, 2018 No matter where ... be sure to sit in a chair and not a towel directly on the sand. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynncarol Posted February 7, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 7, 2018 We were a Valley Church beach a little over 3 weeks ago, sitting on a towel and had no problem whatever. However, it was a breezy day...not sure if that affects sandfleas or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODECCIT Posted February 9, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Sand fleas are staying in the water, so sitting on the towel will never be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbieuk Posted February 22, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I went to Valley Church last week and after settling on my sun lounger was bitten twice by sand fleas. Just to clarify they look just like flies (rather that actual fleas) and drew blood! Luckily I had repellant with me and after applying they didnt bother me again. No swelling or problems with the bites either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
