You know someone is a serious sun worshipper when they leave California for sunnier climes in the winter.

And this certainly seems to be the case for Nick Lachey after he was spotted sunbathing on a swelteringly hot beach on Mexico on Thursday.

The star was looking buff as he went shirtless on the golden sand during a family outing.

Nick, 40, appeared in fine form in a baggy pair of white shorts, while he also wore a baseball cap and sunglasses to protect him from harmful UV rays.

He was joined on his excursion by his television presenter wife Vanessa, 33, who was looking good herself in a black one-piece swimsuit.

The pair were chilling with drinks in their hands as they built sandcastles with their 14-month old baby boy Camden.

The former Mr Jessica Simpson was looking relaxed as he worked on his tan on the sun-kissed beach.

The high-flying couple jetted to Mexico after spending Christmas with his family in Cincinnati, Ohio.

It would not be surprising if the couple expand their brood soon.

Earlier this year, the brunette beauty expressed her desire to have more children.

'I look forward to expanding,' she said during an interview to promote her new TV show Dads.

'We talked about three. I’ve always loved having a big family and truth be told, when I’m old and gray I’ll need a couple of them to take care of me!'

98 degrees and they think it's a good idea to have a baby out in the full sun? Idiots.

Why call him Mr Jessica Simpson? She was a nobody when they met whereas he was in a successful band.

I think they all look great, normal family day at the beach. About the hat, my 4 kids were such stinkers about keeping hats or sunglasses on, I wouldn't be surprised if he just kep tearing it off whenever they put it on him.

Nick appears to be more happier with Vanessa than he ever did with Jessica Simpson!

How can a chest be chiseled? Chiseled refers to bone - i.e. a jaw or cheeckbones but not to muscle.

Not necessarily, when someone achieves muscle of a high definition with virtually not body fat it looks like it's been "chiseled"......I will however give you that his physique is smooth, and certainly not chiseled

I like that she is wearing a one piece. Nice to see she doesn't feel the need to wear a string bikini. And, yes, get the baby a hat!
