A six-year-old boy has been bitten on the finger by a stingray at a theme park on Queensland's Gold Coast.

It happened at a Sea World exhibit yesterday morning.

The boy's wound was treated by a nurse at the theme park and he was taken to hospital as a precaution.

Sea World says it is the first time such an injury has occurred since the Ray Reef attraction opened in 2009.

The theme park says the exhibit will remain open.
