Sea Coconut  or  Golf Ball
Manicaria saccifera



This is one of the more commonly beached sea-beans in Florida.
The most prevalent form of the sea-bean is represented by the image in the upper right.

To find a beached Sea Coconut still covered by the outer hull / husk is rare.
Sometimes, rarely, the seeds are washed ashore in clusters of two or three.
