What the???

[coralAnn]

We are on vacation in Florida, and these little "things" are on the shoreline...everywhere!!! At first we thought they were some sort of jelly fish because that's what they feel like but they are oval-shaped blobs. I'm thinking maybe...um...some kinda fish eggs??? I dunno...feeling a little ignorant!!! Help!!! (plz I'm trying to post a pic...hold steady with me!!!

They're jellies or parts of jellies. Google Florida jellyfish

Without seeing a pic, I would think they are probably jellies. We do get various types of jellyfish in Florida from time to time. They aren't usually a problem, but sometimes show up in large numbers.
Can you get a pic?

Here is the mysterious blob. They are everywhere along the shoreline and close to the shore. If seaweed is present, they're covering it. Cool!!!
