Rihanna hit the beach in Barbados yesterday in a daring white string bikini.

Rih Rih truly was “Rated R” as she bared her impressive beach body to a few lucky onlookers while she frolicked on the beach of her hometown with family and friends.

[Sidebar: It also looks as if Rihanna has given up her Kool-aid red locks for a softer brown color…. cute! ]

In addition to making everyone wanna hit the gym, Rihanna also took some time to enjoy some water sports along with a few of her best friends.

They’re having waaaay too much fun! 🙂

What do you think of Rihanna’s hot stringy ensemble & new doo?
