Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and shredded sweetened coconut.
In a medium bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple, coconut milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the bread cools, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and pineapple juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the bread is completely cooled, drizzle the pineapple glaze over the top. For an optional finishing touch, sprinkle unsweetened coconut flakes over the glaze.
Slice and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the fridge for up to five days.
