The application window will open from Jan. 8 to Jan. 10, with the office available between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. for prospective applicants.
An hourly wage starting at $12.90, with potential increase up to $15.05 based on experience and responsibilities, accompanies the position. Shifts for these attendants will be approximately five hours, weather permitting, according to a statement obtained by St. Johns County Beach Services.
The seasonal work is scheduled to start in mid-February and will conclude come the last weekend in September. Attendants will handle the sale of vehicle beach access passes and provide customer service to those visiting St. Johns County's beaches. A fresh technological upgrade awaits the attendants for the new season, with the introduction of handheld card readers and vehicle barcode scanning projected for implementation.

Applicants in the 2025 season may find themselves operating in one of several newly constructed booths that are slated to debut.
