Manchester Beach is a great place to beachcomb as interesting things get tossed up by the wave action. But what Doug Forsell found was quite a surprise - a coconut!

Doug Forsell wrote, , “I had a couple of interesting finds on Manchester Beach this week. The high surf and wind blew a lot of Jellyfish in, and the high surf tore them into small pieces. I also found a coconut without a husk. Usually at sea the husk stays on, but maybe the surf knocked it off. It still had liquid in it. I wonder how long it was at sea, and where it came from.”

It's a mystery! The California Current brings treasures from halfway around the world - even a coconut.

Thanks to Doug for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To learn more about Manchester State Park, here is the link: https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=437
