A beach bum is a person – a man or woman, boy or girl – who spends a lot of time lying, loafing about, and sometimes even living on coastal sand strips or in the ocean.
Beach bums, also known as surf bums, may spend the whole year in the sun, by the shoreline, or only for shorter yet consecutive periods, such as weekends or holidays.
Beach bums are careless and carefree. They want to enjoy all the time – night and day – on the beach.
