The blonde beauty captioned the picture: 'This place is to DIVE for! #take2 lol! @brinkleybeauty.'

The ex-wife of Billy Joel is blessed with a killer figure, perfect for the Baywatch-inspired swimwear.

The Sports Illustrated vet had tanned skin that showed off her youthful appearance to its full glory, as she flashed her white teeth in a radiant smile.

The doting mother-of-three has been enjoying an Italian vacation with her children Alexa Ray Joel, 29, Jack Paris Taubman, 20 and Sailor Brinkley Cook, 17. 

The family of four have certainly been having a whale of a time together - shortly after Alexa's father Billy Joel wed for the 4th time, marrying Alexis Roderick in a surprise ceremony on July 4th.

The vacation came to a close later on Tuesday and Christie shared a picture bidding the crew of their yacht a fond farewell after posting a video captioned as the last swim. 

She captioned a snap of the vessel: 'Ciao Commandante Simon, Vera,Valentino,Jacopo, and Bella ORIANDA.. Molto Grazie!!! We miss you already! We are leaving with more happy memories than you could fit in our luggage!'  

She has been documenting her glamorous getaway on social media sharing snaps of herself with her kids and the beautiful views - since starting their break in Capri. 

Meanwhile, blonde beauty Christie was no doubt enjoying some time off from her busy schedule: as well as getting ready to unveil her new book Timeless Beauty - a self-help book released in November - she has been working on her skincare line, Christie Brinkley’s Authentic Skincare and her line of hair extensions, Hair2Wear, The Christie Brinkley Collection.
