The cocaine was hidden inside a garbage bag among seaweed, leaves and other debris.
Cocaine worth over a million dollars washed ashore in the exotic Florida Keys in Miami during the recent Hurricane Debby.
The 25 packages containing 32 kilograms of cocaine were found by a “good Samaritan”, according to local police, who received a call from the man who found the drugs.
Police did not reveal the exact location where the packages were found, but posted photos on social media.

Storm Debby made landfall in the US as a Category 1 hurricane on Monday morning, with winds of over 80 miles per hour.
It has since been downgraded to a tropical storm, and looks set to bring rain and flooding as it heads toward Georgia, North and South Carolina.
Drugs often wash up on southern beaches Florida and surrounding areas as smugglers traffic the substances from South America to the US.
