ALESSANDRA Ambrosio has hit the beach after heading home to Brazil for a festive break with her friends and family.

The Victoria's Secret model, 36, was spotted wearing a tropical print bikini on Thursday as she cooled down with a splash in the surf.

Showing off her catwalk figure, Alessandra chose a string two-piece which she teamed with a selection of bracelets and necklaces.

The supermodel completed her beach look with a pair of round sunglasses, before wading out into the sea with her pals.

Alessandra was then snapped splashing around in the water and was all smiles despite almost being swept off her feet.

She then rode a few waves back to the shoreline, wisely removing her sunnies beforehand.

It's been a busy year for Alessandra, so it is no surprise she decided to head back home for a well-earned break over Christmas.

Having dominated catwalks around the globe, the mum-of-two decided to hang up her Victoria's Secret wings in November.

The star finished with a bang in Shanghai before telling Entertainment Tonight: "Victoria's Secret is my family, but you know, it's time to move on.

"Momma is tired."
