Sizzling on the Sand


What could be better than sun, sand, delicious food and bikinis aplenty? From Miami Beach to Malibu, see how stars like Paris Hilton, Naomi Campbell, Gwen Stefani, Pink and others beat the heat with coastline barbeques and swim parties!

Bikini at the Beach



Leave it to Kate Moss to do the beach party in pure St. Tropez style! The supermodel was spotted in a boho caftan and cool shades, carrying what looks to be a crisp glass of Provencal rosé. Also fun: Her friends don't mind if they get sand in their Hermés Birkin bags!

Purely Paris



No one knows the joys of a splashy beach party quite like Paris Hilton, who is partial to vibrant printed maillots and monokinis. The heiress with the mostess once allowed herself to be doused in champagne during a beach bash before turning the bottle on the crowd.

Sandy Supermodel



For her 40th birthday, Naomi Campbell visited the same beach club Paris Hilton and her sister Nicky frequent in St. Tropez: La Voile Rouge. Campbell wore a breezy eyelet lace tunic accented with Southern rock accessories—think gladiator sandals, a straw cowboy hat and a low-slung leather belt. Naomi was joined for the sandy, sunny occasion by superstar Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony.

Malibu Babe



Bikinis aren't required for beach party fun, although they are highly recommended. If you don't feel like soaking up the sun, take a cue from Hilary Duff's book. She protected her fair complexion with a jaunty little fedora at a beach party in Malibu.

Beachy Birthday



90210 cutie AnnaLynne McCord rang in her 22nd birthday with a beach blast on the shores of Malibu. She and her sisters Rachel and Angel played some beach tennis in matchy brightly colored bikinis. And they group hugged, obviously.

All for Estela



To celebrate her daughter Estela's 2nd birthday, Ali Landry held a Shirley Temple-themed beach party on the shores of Malibu. Estela's such a little lady, she wears pearls on the beach!

No Pants Party



Miami's Gansevoort Hotel is a prime location for star-studded beach events, so it's not uncommon to catch stars partying with their pants off. Here, the Real Housewives' Kelly Bensimon showed off her stems at a Spiegel Swim Event by the sea.
