Natalie decided against a swim, instead staying on the sand, a towel on hand for her hubby, who took a dip. 

The Black Swan actress opted for a casual outfit consisting of a black short-sleeved shirt and black pants, with slits at the ankles. 

She added a straw hat with a dark ribbon, and wore her brunette hair tied up underneath.

Natalie stayed nearby, and dipped her feet in the water while the pair enjoyed the sights below the waves. 

Showing off his lean muscles when he emerged from the water, Benjamin seemed to have a lot of fun during the day out. 

Looking delighted after his swim, he laughed as he carried a bag and other items before joining his family.
