Description
They’re called “Vella Vella.” To Oregon beachcombers, they’re the tiny purple jellyfish-like creatures with sails. With the right winds and tides, they can cover a beach and add another marine smell to the ocean front. They are only about two-inches long and described as a close relative to jellyfish and corals. Beaches from Lincoln City north into Washington State have been experiencing the return of Vella Vella. Some sporadic and some covered by the purple “Wind Sailors.”
