McCollum shot to notoriety in 2013 when she and her friend Melissa Reid were arrested in Lima for smuggling drugs and were dubbed the Peru Two by the Press.
She has since become something of a public figure, attending events and escaping the chilly British weather on holiday.
Her day out to the beach comes as she posted a selfie on Instagram saying that 'Vitamin Sea is always the answer.'

McCollum shared the snap with her 15,000 followers on Instagram, where she has posted several images documenting her pregnancy.
It is not yet known who the father is but a mystery man appeared in the Instagram post announcing the pregnancy last month.
Wearing black and white Calvin Klein underwear, McCollum was pictured nestling between the legs of an unseen man, who was resting one hand on her bump.
Captioning the post, Michaella wrote: 'Wow had some crazy dreams... guess that's what happens when your dreaming for more than one.'

Speaking to the MailOnline they said: 'Michaella is pleased to announce her pregnancy, her journey since being back home has been life changing experience.
'Michaella is looking forward to her journey into motherhood. Couple this with the excitement of her book release and 2018 is set to be an amazing year for Michaella.'
Last month McCollum was spotted shopping for baby clothes and was also seen leaving ultrasound specialist, babybond in Belfast.

McCollum, from County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, was photographed leaving the clinic alongside a male companion whom sources have confirmed to be Patrick Mone.
Mone, who is reported to own a hair salon Monet Hair in Belfast, has been spotted with McCollum on several occasions recently - though the pair are not thought to be romantically connected.
The former model has been spotted on several shopping trips since her agent confirmed that she is currently working on a documentary about life in prison.
She is also due to publish her first book, which is set to hit shelves this summer.
It was previously reported that she had been offered a £250,000 deal for the book, detailing her criminal exploits and time behind bars in Lima.
Since returning to the UK, Michaella's lifestyle has been a stark contrast to former accomplice Melissa Reid, who has landed a charity job at Citizens Advice.
Melissa applied for a job at the charity after she was released from the South American jail last June.
