Beside the Seaside: Seaside Jobs

Find out all about the people who live and work beside the seaside, and keep an eye out for buckets and spades along the way!

The Beside the Seaside series looks at specific aspects of daily life by the sea, whether examining plant and animal habitats, exploring the different jobs people do, looking at types of buildings and structures, or comparing a holiday by the sea in the past and present day.

In Seaside Jobs you'll learn about lifeguards, who keep us safe by the sea, seaside shopkeepers, selling postcards and rubber rings, and sporty surf instructors who help to keep us fit and healthy. From entertainment and recreation to security and cleanliness, there are plenty of roles to explore.

An essential set of books for learning about all aspects of the seaside, and a perfect teaching tool for Key Stage 1 or children aged 5+
