The creatures were first seen by Marie Gibson-Coathup while she was walking her dog on the beach earlier today.
The Journal contacted Marie for more information, she said: “They are very strange; I even asked a few people if they knew what they were but nobody had a clue.
“The seagulls loved them and more were washed up past the lifeboat station towards Orcombe Point. I was walking with my dog and he wasn’t interested in them, thank goodness. No other dogs seemed to be either.

Marie estimates around 1,000 of the strange grub-like creatures have washed up near the lifeboat station.
