Characteristics Of A Beach Bum
1. Care Free Attitude
It is no surprise that beach bums typically have a care free attitude. When you spend majority of your time at the beach, nothing else pretty much matters. No need to stress about the little things in life and instead just enjoy what you have.
They find their true happiness through the beach, so there is no need to worry about tomorrow's troubles. If they are surrounded by water, sand, and the sun, then they are good as can be!
2. Love To Surf
A beach bum spends most of their time at the beach, so they are bound to take up surfing. It is common for them to grab a group of friends and go out for a morning surf, mid day surf, night surf, or any time of day!
Catching waves is a crucial part to any beach bum's daily routine.

4. Love Nature

5. Very Tan
You can expect any beach bum to have a real nice tan! Afterall, they spend hours under the sun everyday, so they are bound to have very tan skin.
But, of course I still hope they are wearing lots of sunscreen;)
6. Casual Attire
Most of the time you will find a beach bum in a swim suit, but if they're not in a swim suit. . . chances are they are wearing super casual attire such as shorts and a t-shirt.
If they are really getting "dressed up" then they may have on flip flops, but most of the time you will find them barefoot.
7. Always Down To Hang Out
There is nothing more that a beach bum enjoys than hanging out with their friends on the beach. Whether they are having a beach bonfire, surf session, or just playing a few games, you can almost always expect a beach bum to say yes to any hang out event.
8. Crave Adventure
Beach bums spend most of their time outdoors, so adventurous outdoor activities are always on their mind.
Whether that is cliff jumping, waterfall climbing, hiking, surfing, etc, they are up for a fun adventure.
9. Minimalistic
Beach bums tend to be minimalistic individuals. As long as they have their swim suit and surf board they are ready to go.
It all goes back to living that simplistic, care free lifestyle, which doesn't require much to be happy!
