Who can blame him? Jesse Metcalfe can't keep his eyes (or lips) off stunning bikini-clad girlfriend Cara Santana on Miami beach

They've been dating since 2009, but Cara Santana and Jesse Metcalfe on Thursday were keeping those first flushes of romance alive.

The happy couple were spotted enjoying an amorous break in Miami, Florida and they didn't shy away from piling on the PDA.

It wasn't hard to understand why Jesse couldn't stop kissing his gorgeous girlfriend, as she showed off her fantastic figure.

Cara, 31, was clad in a Triangl bikini in bold blue and white hues, with neon yellow panels across the chest.

The bright and colourful two-piece allowed the Salem star to display her flat stomach, slim legs and pert derriere.

Cara wore her dark locks loose and poker straight and appeared to be make-up free under her oversized aviator sunglasses.

Colorblock your way through summer in a bikini like Cara

In summer, it's time to get your vacation gear together.

This does, of course, mean it's also time for the dreaded bikini shop. We know it's a nightmare but it's something we all have to go through. But it can be less traumatic if you take our advice.

Do not enter a shop! Instead shop around online and order a few styles to be delivered directly to your door. You can then try them on in the comfort and flattering lighting of your own bedroom rather than the harsh and frankly depressing experience of a store changing room.

And can we suggest giving an athletic look like Cara Santana's a go? The sports luxe trend isn't going anywhere and it even extends to swimwear. Cara's bikini is by Australian brand Triangl and you can get your hands on it now by clicking to the right.

Or shop our edit of similar styles below. Bargains can be found at Missguided, ASOS and Boohoo.

When she wasn't working on her tan in a bikini, the actress covered up with a pretty printed kaftan, and carried a pair of white sandals.

Jesse, 36, showcased his impressive physique in a pair of striped grey swimming trunks.

The happy couple strolled along the beach arm-in-arm and went for a dip in the water together to cool off.

They looked relaxed as they cuddled up on a daybed together, chatting away and planting kisses on each other.

Cara earlier in the day shared a photo to Instagram that showed her jumping on her bed, with the caption: 'I'm In Miami B**** // ...(I Couldn't Help Myself).'

She started dating Desperate Housewives star Jesse in 2009 and they had a brief break in 2011 before reconciling.

The couple last year denied that they were engaged, but Jesse then said on the Kyle and Jackie O Breakfast show on KIIS 1065 that he hopes they will be at some point in the future.

'That's not to say we won't get engaged and won't get married, it seems to be going in that direction, but not yet,' he said.

'It's crazy because it's not like I don't have enough pressure to get engaged every day. It will take a bit of specialness away from the moment when we finally do.'

Cara and Jesse were set to attend a launch party on Thursday night in Miami for her Glam App that provides mobile beauty services.

Jesse can next be seen in the drama Destined that is in post-production.
