Pink and her family had a close encounter with some bluebottles that washed up on a Queensland beach on Thursday.
The 44-year-old American superstar landed on the Gold Coast earlier this week and took in the sights by taking her husband Carey Hart, 48, and their two children Willow, 12, and Jameson, seven, for a walk on the sand.
The So What hitmaker proved she's the ultimate daredevil as she got up close and personal with the sea creatures that can leave an unpleasant sting on human skin when touched.
Pink crouched low in the sand and examined one of the squirt bottles.
She held her son Jameson's hand and pointed to some of the other spikes before leading him and her family to a drier, safer area.

The brave mother and her family all crouched down to get a closer look at the common creatures often seen along the shores of Australia's east coast.
Pink, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore, wore a paisley shirt – the same outfit she wore when she landed in the city – over it and a black and white swimsuit.
She also carried a $2,750 YSL Rive Gauche canvas tote bag.

Pink flew out of Sydney earlier on Thursday after she and her family were refused entry to an Australian club earlier in the week.
Fans criticized “embarrassing” club entry rules in Australia after the singer visited the Manly 16ft Skiff Club in Sydney on Monday night but was turned away because she had no ID.

Jameson seemed to be looking for more bluebottles surrounding the family
She was seen being turned away from the venue in Manly for breaching ID requirements.
Manly Markets manager Mark Eymes witnessed the encounter while standing in line with his cousin and quickly realized it was Pink as she spoke with an American accent.
He told the Manly Observer he heard Pink, who arrived with a group of about eight people, telling staff she had a booking but they said she was not allowed to enter without ID under Australian rules to show.
She also flashed a large dragon tattoo on her left thigh

“They said she couldn’t come in without it [her ID]”Even though she explained that she had already secured her booking with a deposit,” he said.
He said he tried to help by informing the Skiff Club directors and floor manager that Pink was at the entrance and would be turned away, but to no avail.
“Next thing I saw Pink and her group leave, they just kicked her out,” he said.
Pink was seen deep in conversation with husband Carey
The family retreated to safety and on land
Despite the embarrassing faux pas, Mark insisted she wasn't “putting too much stress on herself” and was “really enjoyable” even if she couldn't enjoy her evening at the venue.
“She didn't lose her weight once, she was really pleasant, although she was a little upset that she couldn't come in. “It was just such a shame and a little embarrassing that no solution could be found,” he added.
Matt Hazell, managing director of the Manly Skiff Club, told Chron Australia: “The club deeply regrets the inconvenience caused to Pink, her family and friends during their recent visit to the club.”
“We sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding surrounding the ID requirement and will use the incident to improve our processes in the future.”

Under the Registered Clubs Act 1976, visitors to clubs must present suitable identification to gain entry to venues.
Following the incident, fans have branded New South Wales a “nanny state” for its “archaic” club entry rules.
“Another strange Australian rule that makes no sense anywhere else in the world,” one wrote on social media, while another simply said: “Such a stupid rule.”
“You want a nanny state, we'll give you a nanny state,” another fan added.

“Archaic club rules from 70 years ago.” “How embarrassing,” wrote another. “It’s time to turn clubs into pubs – but then those who run them would be missing out.”
“Sad actually… I understand the rules but hey… It's pink… She could have come to my house,” one fan shared.

On Thursday, Courier Mail revealed where the American superstar ended up following her shocking rejection.
After being turned away from the Skiff Club, Pink and her crew took a quick trip across Manly's East Esplanade to 4 Pines Brewing.
Despite the confusion from earlier in the evening, a source who was at the brewery at the time said the singer “looked really happy.”
“They actually all looked happy and enjoyed the food and drinks,” the source added.
