The Portuguese Man o’ War is common on Space Coast beaches this time of year just as spring break in Florida comes around.
These were spotted over the weekend on Cocoa Beach. Treatment for man o’war stings have been popularized in TV episodes of Friends, however medical personal advise against it.

The USAF Thunderbirds were the headliners in Cocoa Beach this past weekend for a two day air show. The crowds were large and the show was spectacular.
The Thunderbirds fly F-16s and are based at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, NV. After watching all the military aircraft perform, I’m glad there on our side.
