She is on the road to recovery after leaving rehab, where she was treated for alcohol abuse.

But Tanning Mom appears to still have something of an addiction to, er, tanning.

The controversial celebrity, whose real name is Patricia Krentcil, celebrated life after rehab on Friday with a trip to the beach in Malibu.

The 45-year-old was spotted roasting herself as she lay on the sand on a towel and later took a dip in the ocean.

Patricia was dressed in a metallic pink swimsuit that was without a doubt too young for her and featured a low-cut and cut-out sides.

Tan Mom, who wore a cross pendant around her neck, wasn't afraid of getting her platinum blonde locks wet, although she later tied them into a ponytail.

The star had arrived at the beach in a pink T-shirt and tiny white shorts, while carrying her silver sandals and white handbag in one hand.

In the other hand Patricia toted a large beverage from Starbucks as she got her caffeine fix while strolling across the sand to find the perfect spot for a tanning session.

She appears to be in good health after her stint in a Florida rehab, which was interrupted by a trip to hospital when she suffered a seizure earlier this month, which was believed to be a reaction to detoxing.

According to TMZ it was feared the New Jersey native would be in the Palm Beach hospital for up to a week, but doctors allowed her to leave after five hours of medical supervision.

Krentcil entered the Lukens Institute, which is endorsed by Lindsay Lohan's father Michael, for a 30 day stint after being found drunk at Minneapolis St Paul Airport and being apprehended between flights by airport police.

She was placed in an airport detox for 30 hours but decided she needed more long term support.

Tanning Mom shot to infamy after her addiction to sunbeds when she was accused of taking her five-year-old daughter Anna into a tanning booth.

She faced child endangerment charges after school officials noticed burns on her daughter's legs which Patricia claimed came from sunburn when her child played outdoors.

While she escaped the charges, her overly tanned appearance made her an overnight sensation.
