What's the strangest thing you've ever found on a beach? Personally I've found some really odd stuff lurking in the sand... but what about you? I'm eager to find out what you folks have found. 
While you're thinking, answer me this....
Why would anyone bring a small piece of ladder to a beach?

Usksider
Pro Good answer!
Arnica
Beached whale! 
Arnica
Oh and why the ladder - they didn't want to take a fence! (offense)
Usksider
Pro That would've been a gate....
Usksider
Pro Oh yeah, that! 
Tentativeplotfinder
Bit fallen off Jacob's Ladder...
Usksider
Pro Poor old Jacob and his ladder had leprosy; bits were falling off all over the place!
Tentativeplotfinder
Sad...
maybe he went the wrong way?
Usksider
Pro Possible I guess...
off a boat?
Usksider
Pro Not the ladder from the bunk beds I hope!
that's what I was thinking!!!
Usksider
Pro One thing for sure, it'd never get you up the stick!
...I dont understand...
Usksider
Pro The ladder to climb the ship's mast... this one's a bit short. 
sure is!!
Usksider
Pro Maybe it's a special ladder for the little people...
.....little people but with comparatively long legs? to get up the steps?
Usksider
Pro That's the ones... all related to Twizzle!
exactly!! Whoever Twizzle was......sounds familiar......
Usksider
Pro Twizzle was puppet toy thing that came to life... he had arms and legs that extended so he could reach great distances... bizarre really!
aaaah.....Enid Blyton? or not.....sounds nice....Twizzle
Usksider
Pro Gawd knows... kids TV back in the 60s!
oh ok!!
Usksider
Pro Found a link... Twizzle was a Gerry Anderson creation.
aaaah!!! ok! not come across him before.....
Usksider
Pro What?
Torchy
Supercar
Fireball XL5
Stingray
Thunderbirds
Joe 90
Oh and Four Feather Falls...
I came across Stingray...Thunderbirds and heard of Joe 90.....but not the others.....we didnt always have a telly....
Usksider
Pro I'll let you off then... as it's Sunday.
its not the back of a fancy deck chair is it?
Usksider
Pro Only if you want it to be Happy. 
to climb down the hole.. its a long way to Oz, and they might need a little assistance..
Usksider
Pro Knowing my luck the tunnel would do a U-turn and come up in Splot!
Munzly
Pro It's where they filmed the spoof Moon landing - "One small set of steps for mankind........
Usksider
Pro Of course!
Actually they filmed a chunk of Lawrence of Arabia in the sand dunes behind this beach.
technomist
So its how he got down off his camel.
Usksider
Pro Excellent! Best answer yet!

The weirdest I've found...hmmm... a sheep carcass, holes in the sand (caused by worms, according to my good zoologist mate Dave) & oh yeah, a tyre... in the most difficult place ever - it must've have taken a very determined person to get it there because it sure as hell wasn't washed up by the sea!!
Usksider
Pro You often get the odd carcass; sheep, dogs, cats... I'm never sure whether fall off the cliffs or what?
ArtemisToxia
I did come across a swan (a live one! 
) ) which i thought was strange at 8am on a Sunday! And I did hear of some people that chased a sheep off a cliff - they may be the ones accounting for the sheep carcasses! A ladder though...mmm...
Usksider
Pro Unusual to find a swan on a beach; you see ducks sometimes, but I've never seen a swan on the beach.
The ladder's no stranger than the wheelchair I suppose... both are very much out of place I'd say.
tylluanpenry
Pro A ladder? Well, maybe it's a very short person wanting to spy on all the courting couples.... and one of them got mad and sawed the ladder in half and he came crashing down and.... no, hang on, this is turning into a mini series!
Usksider
Pro This is the beach at the front of Merthyr Mawr and you do find couples tucked away in the dunes, so who knows?
Perhaps it's a window cleaners ladder for a bloke who, because he's scared of heights, only does beach huts and bungalows?
