The Most Bizarre Beach Finds That Left People Scratching Their Heads
Play Me a Song
It’s difficult to even imagine what you may come across at the beach — and this piano proves that we’re nowhere near even scratching the surface of that answer.
We wonder how the piano even got here. Perhaps someone left it there by mistake, although that’d be hard to do, given its size. Or maybe, it was once aboard a cruise ship. In any event, it’s probably best to stay away from this broken instrument. For all we know, it may have the power to call the Sea Sirens.
Chess, Anyone?
Sure — there are all types of sandcastle competitions that take place all around the world. And while some spectacular sculptures have come out of those competitions, nothing can really beat Mother Nature’s artistic abilities.
These sand sculptures, which slightly resemble Chess pieces, are known as ‘sand hoodoos’ and they were spotted on the shore of Lake Michigan at Tiscornia Park. Though rare, these pillars can form at any time of the year as long as there’s wet sand and continuous high winds for several days.
Look Into My Crystal Ball
Let’s be real — if we found this glass orb on the beach, we’d totally try to read our fortune. After all, it looks pretty magical, what with its blue-green hue and all the protruding barnacles. Even if it’s not magical, though, it’s definitely a piece worth keeping.
After all, it was found on a beach in Hawaii. After the orb was washed up by the tide, it became one with the sand and shells that this particular beach had to offer. That is, until this OP discovered it and took it home with them.
Beachy Runway
Going to the beach is fun, but it’s also pretty messy. Walking can become quite the task, as your shoes sink into the sand every couple of seconds — not to mention all the beach-goers that use wheelchairs, strollers, and walkers.
Well, this town of Cobourg (Ontario, Canada) decided to install an accessibility mat at their Victoria Beach. The accessibility mat makes the beach universally accessible. It has been installed from the midpoint of the Victoria Beach boardwalk at the gazebo and runs right near the water’s edge on Lake Ontario.
Beach outings don’t always go as expected. Sure — you can decide what bathing suit to wear and how many snacks to bring, but you can’t always predict what the mighty sea has in store. And along with the sea, you don’t always know what you’ll find at the beach. From washed-up instruments to ancient artifacts, people have found all kinds of bizarre things at the beach. Here are some of the most amazing things that people have found during a day at the beach.
