Rattlesnakes spotted on Orange County beaches near Crystal Cove
Rattlesnakes have been spotted on beaches in Orange County, California, marking a series of unusual encounters at Crystal Cove. On Sunday, beachgoer Cristiano Salgueiro recorded a camouflaged rattlesnake moving along the waterline, where the serpent repeatedly entered and exited the ocean surf near sunset.
This follows a similar incident last month involving comedian Nicky Paris, who reported a large rattlesnake slithering near his feet after he exited the ocean. While Paris was not bitten, the encounter prompted him to warn others to remain vigilant near the water’s edge. Both witnesses have advised beachgoers to stay alert due to the presence of these venomous reptiles in the coastal area.
