How do you open a coconut on the beach?

Published in Coconut Preparation 1 min read

Opening a coconut on the beach can be done with a rock, specifically one with a sharp edge.

Here's how:

  1. Find a sturdy rock: Look for a rock with a relatively sharp edge. This will act as your tool.

  2. Locate the "line": Identify the line that runs around the circumference of the coconut. According to the provided reference, if you "stop right in the center that is the place that we need to smack."

  3. Smack the coconut: Hold the coconut firmly and repeatedly strike it along the identified line against the sharp edge of the rock.

  4. Rotate and repeat: Rotate the coconut slightly after each strike. This will create a crack around the circumference.

  5. Split the coconut: Continue striking and rotating until the coconut splits open.
