The sound of gulls, the crash of waves, and the laughter of children. Add the sun, the sand and the swimsuits, and throw in cash to work in this environment. Who wouldn’t want to work on the beach and get paid for it?
Finding a beach job isn’t as easy as it seems, however, and the search becomes quite competitive in the summer: not only is this the busiest season on the beach, but swarms of high school and college students are searching for your ideal job as well. So how do you land that job with a view, as it were?
If you want to work right on the beach, being a strong swimmer and certified to perform First Aid/CPR are absolutely crucial to getting hired. At this point in the summer, it’s too late to know how to learn how to swim, but for future summer beach jobs, your local YMCA can provide affordable swimming lessons. Getting First Aid/CPR certified (or recertified), however, is as simple as going to your local American Red Cross center. They can provide classes that provide official certification in less than a day, as well as teach you vital lifesaving skills. If you have a special skill, such as waterskiing, sailing, surfing, or any other cool water sports, search for businesses needing instructors for their classes.
If you want to be a lifeguard, check with the organizations running the beach. They can range from the official Coast Guard to boating clubs and residential communities on private beaches. Lifeguarding jobs go quickly, though (they pay well and the atmosphere is ideal), so apply early and to many places.
You can also check with local summer schools, church and community service groups, and surf shops to see whether there are any classes you can teach. You’ll need to be extremely skilled in whatever you aim to teach (sailing, waterskiing, surfing, even scuba diving), and these jobs will be difficult to find. Alternatively, you can promote yourself as an instructor by tacking up posters and getting your name out on the boardwalk, advertising a flat rate per hour of personal instruction.
Good luck getting that job on the beach! When you come back to school, you can show off your killer tan to all friends.
