Spend the summer lifeguarding on the beach on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina!
Shore Beach Service is always looking for lifeguards who enjoy working with people and possess good moral character and high standards of physical fitness. Each year, we hire more than 70 lifeguards from across the country and around the world to fill our available jobs. Read some of the frequently asked questions that we receive from prospective employees about the job.

• Highchair lifeguards watch designated sections of beach keeping focused, alert, and ready to provide assistance.
• Our lifeguards are trained to do both highchair and rentals and will likely do both jobs during the summer.
• We do not have beach rental positions available to people who are not lifeguard certified.
• Rental guards setup, operate, and take down the beach rental stand when assigned to that role.
