Volleyball Star Tayli Ikenaga Hits The Beach In Her Little Bikini

American athlete Tayli Ikenaga is turning heads as she hit the beach in an animal-print bikini!

Although she’s known for her skills on the volleyball court in her hometown of Honolulu, she decided to travel to the beaches of Rio de Janeiro for a change of scenery!

The Hawaiian athlete looked as happy as she could be as she soaked up the sun on vacation. She is showing off her glowing tan as she stands barefoot in the sand, letting the ocean waves lap at her feet. Her long dark hair is brushed back out of her face as she smiles for the shot.

She is wearing an animal-print halter top bikini that admittedly does show off a clear tan line. She accessorized her look with two silver chain necklaces that matched her silver belly button ring. In the caption of this Instagram post, she wrote “change of scenery (ish)” and tagged Arraial do Cabo in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as her current location.

In another photo, she got down on her knees in the wet sand. Fortunately, her photographer was able to snap a photo before she got absolutely soaked by an incoming wave. She is holding up her hand to block out the sun, but it does cast a shadow on her face as she smiles for the camera.

“Omg you look so good!!” one fan exclaimed. “Tayli, wow, you’re so beautiful,” another follower agreed. “Gorgeous,” a third fan chimed in. “SOMEONE SIGN THIS MODEL,” another follower exclaimed. “Tayli!!! LOVE THIS,” another fan commented. “SO HOT,” another follower wrote. “I’m obsessed,” another fan shared. “This bikini is great on you,” another follower wrote.

In the third and final photo of her Instagram carousel, she is kneeling down in the wet sand while a shallow wave covers her knees. She is standing with her hands pressed against the outside of her thighs as she looks away from the camera. She is still happy and looks like she is having a blast on her vacation.

“The scene is you,” another fan teased. “This is so cute,” another follower wrote. “I THINK MY PHONE JUST SHORT CIRCUITED,” another fan exclaimed. “Go off,” another follower wrote. “Slay,” another fan shared. “Glowing,” another follower added while another fan told her “You’re winning.”

In another Instagram post, the star athlete reminded her followers how important it is to take some time for self-care. She posted a photo that featured her sitting outside among the lush, lean vegetation with one leg crossed over the other.

She is wearing a black bikini and she lets her hair fall in loose waves down her back. She has a pair of sunglasses perched on top of her head as she smiles for the shot as she sits barefoot in the sun.

In another photo, she gave fans another look at her asymmetrical bikini as she sat outdoors on a white bench. The black bikini top only has one strap over her right shoulder, although her bikini bottoms are concealed as she sits with one leg crossed over the other.

“'Healthier' means to me, making time for self-care days,” she wrote in the caption, using the hashtag #healthierhawaii and tagging @hawaiipachealth. “And this is an ad???” one fan asked. “Okay, I’m influenced,” another follower wrote. “Give her more deals please,” a third fan chimed in.

“Actually a model,” another follower wrote. “Mental health is really important,” another fan agreed. “Omg Tay I love this,” another follower shared. “Gorgeous,” another fan commented. “Beautiful smile,” another fan gushed. “Look at you glow,” another follower shared.

“OH MY GOSH,” another fan exclaimed. “I’m actually obsessed with you,” another follower wrote. “You are stunning,” another fan chimed in. “Pretty girl,” another follower commented. “So pretty,” another fan agreed while another follower called her “the prettiest.”

A fourth fan even called her “so, so pretty.” A fifth follower called her “Literally the prettiest.” Another fan told her that she was “so pretty like a model.” Who says she can't be both an athlete and a model?
