The '''beach strawberry''', '''Chilean strawberry''', or '''coastal strawberry''' (''Fragaria chiloensis'') is one of two species of [[strawberry]] that were [[Hybrid (biology)|hybridized]] to create the modern [[garden strawberry]] (''F. × ananassa'').  It is noted for its large berries. Its natural range is the [[Pacific Ocean]] coasts of [[North America|North]] and [[South America]], and also [[Hawaii|Hawai{{okina}}i]].  [[Migratory birds]] are thought to have [[biological dispersal|dispersed]] ''F. chiloensis'' from the [[Pacific coast#North America|Pacific coast]] of North America to the mountains of Hawai{{okina}}i, [[Chile]], and [[Argentina]].<ref>{{cite book

The beach strawberry, Chilean strawberry, or coastal strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis) is one of two species of strawberry that were hybridized to create the modern garden strawberry (F. × ananassa). It is noted for its large berries. Its natural range is the Pacific Ocean coasts of North and South America, and also [[Hawaii|HawaiTemplate:Okinai]]. Migratory birds are thought to have dispersed F. chiloensis from the Pacific coast of North America to the mountains of HawaiTemplate:Okinai, Chile, and Argentina.[1]

It is an evergreen plant growing to 15 - 30 cm tall, with glossy green trifoliate leaves, each leaflet around 5 cm in long. The flowers are white, produced in spring and early summer. The fruit is edible, red on the surface, white inside.

Its fruit is still sold as a local delicacy in some South American produce markets.
