The 20-year-old singer enjoyed lunch at The Beach Cafe and then a stroll on the sand on Sunday where the only tune she was hearing was the sound of waves and seagulls.

Selena stayed cool in a billowing ivory top over a pair of cut-off denim shorts that allowed her to show off her lean legs and her deep tan.

Her sense of style was complimented further by a round clutch bag on a golden chain that was looped across her chest.

The warm sand must have felt wonderful on Selena’s bare feet as she took in the breeze with her friend, actress Francia Raisa, but she kept her T-strap sandals close for later.

While Selena shied from attention, 24-year-old Francia seemed to welcome it as she paraded her curvy figure in a turquoise bikini.

‘They are hooking up!’ a source told UsMagazine.com.
