AnnaLynne McCord at the beaches of Santa Monica, CA

Basking in the warm west coast sunshine, AnnaLynne McCord took advantage of a break in her schedule by hitting the beaches of Santa Monica, CA on Thursday (February 23).

The Naomi Clark cutie donned a mismatched flowery bikini top and blue high waisted bottoms as she sprawled on the sandy grounds alongside the Pacific Ocean.

The outing comes as we're just two weeks away from the return of new episodes of AnnaLynne's hit drama "90210" - with an installment titled 'Babes In Toyland' set to air on Tuesday, March 6th at 8/7c on The CW.

With a preview found in the video player below, a synopsis via the show's website reads: "Naomi's sister Jen (guest star Sara Foster) arrives with her son for a surprise visit. Adrianna and Dixon land a meeting with a major movie producer to discuss music on his next film, but are sabotaged by Vanessa (guest star Arielle Kebbel). Meanwhile, Silver gets accepted into New York University and Ivy attracts attention in the underground scene when she switches to a less conventional style of art."

Santa Monica is a beachfront city in western Los Angeles County, California, US. Situated on Santa Monica Bay, it is surrounded on three sides by the city of Los Angeles — Pacific Palisades on the northwest, Brentwood on the north, West Los Angeles on the northeast, Mar Vista on the east, and Venice on the southeast.

Santa Monica is home to executives and Hollywood celebrities amongst others and it is a mixture of affluent, single-family neighborhoods, renters, surfers, young professionals, and students. The Census Bureau 2010 population for Santa Monica is 89,736. Santa Monica is named after Saint Monica of Hippo because the area in which the city is now located was first visited by Spaniards on her feast day.

Partly because of its agreeable climate, Santa Monica had become a famed resort town by the early 20th century. The city has experienced a boom since the late 1980s through the revitalization of its downtown core with significant job growth and increased tourism.
