"BEACH BUNNY beach bunny. A female groupie whose presence at the surfing beach is more for decoration than for sport. IHAT: 1960s. Source: RABBIT. Bunny (WNNCD: 1690) has long been an affectionate name for a young rabbit because of its cute little "cottontail" (Scottish bun "rabbit's tail). Cute little beach bunnies hang out at beaches, admiring the surfers and looking for some action of a different sort." -Robert Allen Palmatier[2]
