14-19: Summer isn�t complete without spending some time relaxing on the beach � but in your lycra swimwear and cool shades, you are most definitely not a beach bum.

20-24: It�s official � you�re a beach bum. You like the people, and you like the lifestyle. Beach culture is something that you excel at, so why not embrace it? But please wear sunscreen.
