Bella Thorne was the embodiment of a sun-kissed California girl on a recent beach trip with pals.

The 17-year-old actress – who is reportedly dating Pamela Anderson’s son Brandon Lee – enjoyed some time soaking up some sun with friends in Los Angeles on Thursday, including hunky British star Gregg Sulkin.

The 22-year-old Faking It actor humourously captioned a snap of the duo: ‘Sometimes I wonder why I left London …. 😉 Nice beach day with the gang @bellathorne @ddotes18 @shannamontanah @oliviagrace’

Bella sported a white ʙικιɴι with mesh detail and halterneck strap and accessorised with a gold pendant necklace, tummy chain and silver bangles.

She shaded her eyes with round retro style sunglᴀsses and her strawberry blonde locks looked beachy and windswept.

Gregg showed off his muscular torso in grey swim shorts with orange stripe detail and didn’t seem to mind carrying his pal around on his back as he trudged through the water.

Before taking a dip in the ocean together Bella and Gregg played a spot of volleyball and the Blended actress was seen keeping hydrated sipping on a bottle of water in-between activities.

The teen TV star was already reminiscing about the fun day out as she shared her own pH๏τo of herself in a ʙικιɴι to her Instagram on Saturday saying ‘Can’t wait to get back to LA and the beaches!’

The Frenemies star certainly has no shortage of attractive male pals.

The Shake It Up star was spotted heading out to dinner with teen wolf star Tyler Posey last week.

She linked arms with the 23-year-old actor as they strolled on Melrose Avenue in the West Hollywood neighbourhood of Los Angeles on Monday.

However she was quick to take to Twitter after the outing to confirm that the duo are just friends and that she only linked arms with him for protection against the paparazzi.
