WALTON COUNTY, Fla. – A beachgoer recently came across nearly $500,000 worth of cocaine that washed up in Walton County, according to the sheriff’s office.

The discovery was made Sunday morning, the Walton County Sheriff’s Office said on social media.

“While enjoying our beautiful beaches, if you come across any square groupers, PLEASE call @WCSOFL immediately and DO NOT touch suspicious packages. The contents could be extremely harmful," the post states.

The post included a photo of the haul, showing the packages were indeed “marked with Yosemite Sam,” just like the sheriff’s office says.
