Some of you love the beach. You’ll travel hundreds of miles away from your house just to take a dip in the ocean. You’ll pack up the car and head to the shore for a weekend so you can sit under an umbrella and build a little sandcastle.
But some of you absolutely despise the beach because of the sand. It’s hot. It lingers on you for days and is nearly impossible to fully vacuum out of your car.
I grew up in Florida near the beach. I’m going to share something odd with you (please don’t judge me too hard) but I love the sand so much I used to eat it.
ANYWAY! Moving on! Which person are you?
Whether or not you love the beach, you might love making extra cash. Today I’m diving into jobs that revolve around the beach. Maybe one will spark an idea that makes you want to get closer to the sand and the sea.
