Beach Attendant / Pool Attendant at La Mer Beachfront Resort – Cape May, NJ
Imagine waking up every day and heading to work steps away from one of the top 10 beaches in the United States. At La Mer Beachfront Resort in Cape May, New Jersey, that's exactly the summer that awaits you. Cape May is America's oldest seaside resort, famous for its charming Victorian architecture, vibrant festivals, and buzzing waterfront scene — and you'll be right in the middle of it all.
