High tide brought more than just seashells to the Florida Keys, as a beachgoer stumbled upon 65 pounds of cocaine with a street value estimated at around $1 million. The unidentified individual spotted a suspicious package along the serene shoreline and promptly alerted the authorities, as reported by WSVN.

In what looked like a scene straight out of a drug cartel flick, the U.S. Border Patrol teamed up with the Monroe County Sheriff's Office to converge on the scene. They successfully seized the narcotics, which were scattered along the beach and whose origins shrouded in mystery.

This significant find closely mirrors an incident from October last year, when Daytona Beach was the recipient of a similar dubious bounty. A package containing 67 pounds of cocaine washed ashore, as per a detail furnished by CBS News Miami.

Local law enforcement agencies are investigating how the drugs ended up on the keys. Floating up from waters known for their notorious role in drug trafficking, the narcotics have a knack for finding their way onto Florida's picturesque beaches. While the beachgoer remained anonymous, their discovery once again highlights a perennial problem facing Florida's coastal communities.
