Coconut Palm Treee

Coconut Palm trees abound.  You can climb a tree and pick one, but I prefer to wait until they drop by themselves when they are fully ripe.  It's is quite a bit of work getting the husk off so your going to really want to have some fresh Coconut in order to be motivated. Once the husk is removed its a simple matter to drive a phillips screw driver or awl thru one of the three eyes located at one end of the shell and drain the coconut water, which is good to drink. Strike the hard shell on a hard object or tap it with a hammer to break it open and easily pry the coconut meat from the shell with a butter knife.  Some people confuse the coconut water you drain from the shell with coconut milk, which is made by processing the coconut inside the shell.
