The 80-foot-long unidentified object, made primarily of wood but may also include some metal, was originally spotted by onlookers at the beach. Locals and officials are confused by discovering a huge, enigmatic item on Daytona Beach Shores in Volusia County, Florida.
The unidentified object, which is made of wood but may also contain some metal, is around 80 feet (24.3 meters) long and was originally spotted by beachgoers passing by. It could not be roped off since water covers it during high tide.
Hurricanes Uncover Gigantic Mystery Object On Florida Beach
Numerous rumors and theories have surfaced on social media as specialists work to identify what it is. While many said it was a piece of an old shipwreck, some believe it to be a fragment of a former pier.
Others had conjectured that it may be a section of spectator seating from when NASCAR had its races at Daytona Beach. According to Tamra Malphurs of Volusia County Beach Safety, many people believe it to be some sort of historic ship.
Tammy Malphurs, deputy chief of Volusia Beach Safety, said the beach’s erosion is unusual. According to her, it has been a very long time since we have witnessed this kind of erosion. In the approximately 25 years I have spent at the beach, this is the first time I have seen it uncovered.

According to CBS Miami, Governor Ron De Santis predicted it would be less severe than Ian after Nicole made landfall. However, it had a major impact, particularly in Volusia County, located just above where the storm officially made landfall.
Although this storm is certainly not as significant as Hurricane Ian was, DeSantis noted that areas nearby, particularly those in the Volusia County region, had seen substantial coastal damage. They have been working extremely hard to ensure that everyone is safe, even if this has put some of those structures in danger.
After Nicole, there were also reports of significant beach erosion in other parts of the state, such as Broward County, which includes Fort Lauderdale.
