Sports Illustrated model Erin Heatherton enjoys a relaxing day out as she hits the beach in Sydney in a tiny floral bikini

She's a Victoria's Secret Angel, taking to the famous lingerie parade every year to show off her incredible body. 

And Erin Heatherton gave fellow beach-goers a treat in Sydney on Wednesday, stripping off to her bikini on Coogee Beach. 

The 26-year-old showed off her toned, tanned figure in a floral two-piece as she sunbaked on the sand, listening to music via large white headphones.

Stretching out on the sand, the blonde beauty was keen to get a tan in her colourful triangle top and a matching string bottoms. 

Like a Sports Illustrated photo shoot come to life, she was seen adjusting her bikini before settling in the sand.

Keeping refreshed, she sipped on a large bottle of water, lapping up the warm Autumn sun.
