beach bums
Seaside layabout types
Beach bums are people who spend their time idling at the beach, often with no apparent job or responsibilities.
The term can be affectionate or dismissive depending on context—admiring someone's carefree lifestyle or criticizing their lack of ambition: We spent the summer as beach bums, surfing every day.
