Beach jobs...

Postby DoorM4n » Wed May 07, 2008 1:35 am

This question/thread may seem completely foreign and unusual to a bunch of you, but oh well.

Do you guys have any ideas for Summer Beach jobs that usually roll around on any beach?

I am talking about: a possible surf shop, restaurant by the bay, or anything that can keep me occupied and near the water. :)

At any decently busy beach, there are plenty of opportunities, from working in the rental shack on the beach, to restaurants and retail locations nearby/on the boardwalk. If you are a decent surfer, and have a lifesaving certification, surf schools are another place to look for employment, as is the already mentioned job as a lifeguard (though, at least in my area, most beaches have already held lifeguard tryouts). Beaches also need that person to drive the machine that "grooms" the sand, picking up all the trash. Then there's always the need for someone to clean the public restrooms.

hahaha, I am not that mindless. I was just trying to strike a conversation up by seeing what kind of different jobs most beaches offer.

If nipple tweaker for the stars is not available.......then bartend or wait tables in a busy food joint. Hours are perfect for surfer....nights and weekends. Good tips and hot women...every morning free to surf. Dream life....trust me it was hard to give up!!!! Doesn't buy houses or support kids tho. :shock:

There are really cool jobs over here in Argentina in summer over the surfing beaches.

You can try in Pinamar, a really cool place for surfing and partying.
They need lots of people in january as bartenders

International tourism is growing a lot in places like Pinamar, Cariló, or Villa Gesell.

Those are places for young people who love to party, football, and surfing.

I think if you try to look for a job you should, it´s always important to know other languages. You should speak a little spanish thought.

Foreigner bartenders are always seen as exotic and cool

Here, some pics of Pinamar and argentinian cost:

Hope everything´s over there :wink:
