Investigators said they confirmed the package contained cocaine in 30 individually wrapped packages.
Police said the packaging of the drugs had a dolphin logo, which could indicate that the drugs belonged to the Gulf Cartel.
Investigators said the bulk value of the cocaine is $855,000, but it could have a street value of more than $3.5 million.
Drugs have washed ashore six times in the past week, and this is the second instance that it was cocaine, according to the Galveston Police Department.
