Beach volleyball is not only a great source of fun, it's also used by people like Alessandra Ambrosio as a means of helping bring friends, family, and fellow sports enthusiasts together.
And with the longtime supermodel having made it part of her workout regimen many years ago, the results of all her hard work and fun in the sun are indisputable.
On Sunday, the Brazilian-born starlet put those results on display when she hit the beach near her home in Santa Monica for some beach volleyball with friend dressed in a neon green bikini.
Boyfriend Richard Lee was among the other players also on hand to show off their volleyball skills, all while packing on the PDA with his ladylove during breaks.
