Salt life means a frequent beachgoer, a term that refers to someone who likes to surf or swim on the beach a lot. This was popularized when the Salt Life company made stickers for their brand which eventually got plastered on frequent beachgoer’s belongings.
Using ‘Salt life’ to describe someone was already used in the early 2000s, however, this became a joke around 2006 and onwards. Soccer moms or ‘beach phonies’ would have this sticker plastered all around their belongings, despite not being a frequent beachgoer.
