I hold coconuts high in the ocean breeze, yet I share my name with the center of your hand. What am I?
A palm tree
This riddle relies on the homonym palm, which refers both to the inner surface of a human hand and to the tropical tree species. The mention of coconuts and the ocean breeze helps narrow down the answer to the tree.
