Not to be confused with naked buttocks on a nude beach.

Beach bum is a term used to denote a subculture, the characteristics of which often include aspects of but do not necessarily extend to the surfer, the stoner or the hippie subcultures. Jimmy Buffett is a famous archetypal beach bum.

The members of this subculture are typically ocean and beach-going people who enjoy spending spare time sitting or relaxing on a beach. As such, the life of a beach bum is usually one of leisure. This holds true if the particular beach bum is a local, a retiree, a vacationer, or just someone who enjoys life by the ocean.
