Audrina Patridge on the Beach in Santa Monica.

Audrina Patridge was on the beach in a super bright bikini in Santa Monica yesterday. The reality starlet was enjoying the sand and sun, and was also getting paid for it -- she was also doing a photo shoot!

The former Hills star sported a neon bikini while playing with a big red beach ball and frolicking in the sand. Audrina looked like she was having a great time, especially with her mom Lynn, who was also at the shoot.

She just got a new reality show (Audrina will air on VH1), so this gal definitely has a lot to smile about these days. Her mom will be featured on the show, and so will the rest of the fam -- including her young brother Marky, and sisters Casey and Samantha. It's a family affair!
