The sea is full of mystery. Seriously, we only know a fraction of what goes on in there.
Also, as a species, humans are great at littering. Just top notch at throwing garbage where it doesn’t belong.
These two facts combined have led to some crazy things washing up on the shores of our world’s beaches.
From objects people disposed of to others people threw out to see to mysterious dead creatures or parts of creatures, the things that wash up on our shores are enough to make me wary of entering the ocean again!
Have you ever been sitting on the beach, the water rushing up around you…
…and suddenly, there’s the corpse of a rotting, smelly jellyfish? It’s the most romantic thing that could happen… OK, it’s quite the opposite.
Peep these crazy things that people have found on the beach.

Oh, nothing to see here. Just a teeny, tiny piece of driftwood that just so happened to wash up on shore.

Yep, that’s a giant rusty metal die. I can only assume it belonged to a giant because that’s the only thing that makes sense.

This is so cool! The “meat” of the leaf has been washed away, and all that’s left is its very detailed “skeleton.”

How gruesome and strange! It’s definitely from a whale because that would have to be one big dolphin or shark.

At first, I thought that was a small child lying down next to the squid, but it’s not! It’s a full-grown adult man! Holy crap that’s a big creature.

This is another note that someone found on the shore, this time on a beach in Fort Lauderdale. But this note wasn’t in a bottle. It was inside a melon.

What do you think this could be?! Maybe a spiny fish of some sort? Perhaps a snapping turtle head? Who knows?

Someone found this creepy little figurine washed up on the coast in Oregon. I feel like now I’m embroiled in a Jumanji-like game I did not ask for.

When you find a pistol washed up on the beach, just think about the totally innocent, not-at-all-murderous person who must have disposed of it in the ocean.

This is so gnarly. A fully intact severed shark head washed up on the beach. I hope this wasn’t the work of humans…

Man, Elmo is really going through a rough patch. To wake up on the beach, probably totally waterlogged? He really needs to get his life together.

This two-headed dolphin washed up on the shore of a beach in Turkey! Crazy. It probably wasn’t very easy being a two-headed dolphin in the ocean.

Someone threw their couch into the ocean. It’s the extreme version of leaving it out on the curb.

Apparently, this is a jelly-like creature. This is one of the most majestic jellyfish I’ve ever seen, if that’s indeed what it is.

This shocked coconut washed up on shore. Clearly, it has been in the ocean for a long time, and it has seen some sh*t.

Who’s going to sing it with me?
Ohhhhhh, who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!

OK, so this one didn’t exactly wash up on shore but it was found on the beach, and it’s so cute I might actually cry.

What is that thing?!
It looks like a tadpole, but like…a gigantic, alien one.

This rock is so…specifically designed that it makes me think it is actually an alien egg. Go on, prove me wrong.

I mean, sometimes I throw things when they don’t work and I get frustrated, but this seems a little excessive.

Oh, just a random green glass ball that rolled up on the shore. I feel like this is a ghost calling to us? I can’t explain why, but I’m sure of it.
via: Imgur
This pup didn’t wash up, but it was found living on the beach! I hope he has a loving family now.

This whole ship just washed up on shore one day. Can you say “ghost ship”?
