They say sometimes you need a vacation to recover from a vacation, and Simone Biles took that to heart. Fresh off a dreamy honeymoon in South Africa with Jonathan Owens, the Olympic champion packed her bags once again—this time for a quick getaway with her girls, trading gymnastics arenas for the open ocean.

Biles turned heads at the beach, not just for her effortless skills on a jet ski but for a moment that had beachgoers doing double takes. As she rode the waves and partied in the ocean, it briefly looked like she wasn’t wearing anything at all, adding an unexpected twist to her already wild day in the Bahamas.

An Optical Illusion That Fooled Everyone

Those lucky enough to witness the scene up close had to blink twice, but it was all just an optical illusion. The oversized life jacket she wore made it nearly impossible to tell if she had on a swimsuit underneath, creating a moment of buzz that only Biles could pull off with such ease.

The beach bash wasn’t just any getaway—it doubled as a late bachelorette party with her closest friends. And given that the gymnastics queen just turned 28, the trip likely served as a birthday celebration as well. With the stunning Caribbean backdrop, Biles soaked in the sun, the waves, and the good vibes, embracing the beach as her happy place.

A Well-Deserved Break Before Big Decisions

Right now, it’s all about relaxation for Biles, who is fully embracing the present and surrounding herself with her inner circle. While the pressure of a potential Olympic comeback continues to loom, she seems to be shaking it off, enjoying the moment before deciding if she’ll take on the challenge of competing in Los Angeles 2028. After all, an Olympics on home soil might be too tempting to resist, according to some insiders.

But for now, there’s no rush. As the world speculates about her future, Biles is making the most of her well-earned time off. Whether she’s back on the mat or back on the beach, one thing is for sure—she knows how to make waves, both in and out of the water.
