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
