A toxicologist has warned against frolicking in the smelly brown foam blanketing Sunshine Coast beaches as hidden dangers lurk within.

University of Queensland Associate Professor Barry Noller said residents should steer clear of the foam whipped up by strong winds off the foreshore for fears it may be poisonous and containing pollutants, toxins and sewage.

Holidaymakers at Mooloolaba Beach Holiday Park have complained of itching and stinging after coming into contact with the sticky foam.
