When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
And that's exactly what Paris Hilton and her boyfriend Cy Waits did on Monday - escaping their legal woes and jetting off for a romantic Hawaiian getaway.
The hotel heiress looked like she didn't have a care in the world as she frolicked in the surf and walked hand in hand on the beach with her recently unemployed boyfriend.
Poser pair: Paris Hilton and boyfriend Cy Waits have hardly been laying low during their Hawaiian getaway. The heiress was definitely standing out from the crowd as she strutted in a leopard print one piece in Maui on Sunday
29-year-old Hilton looked stunning in a floppy black sun hat and a cutaway leopard print one piece which showed off her toned and tanned body to perfection.
And in true Hilton style the socialite spent a good deal of time preening and posing for the cameras - striking a number of poses as if she was working on a photo shoot rather than relaxing on the beach.
If Hilton is worried about her recent Las Vegas bust for cocaine possession she certainly isn't letting on, with a smile permanently plastered on her face.
Cameras? What cameras? Hilton did her usual preening and posing on the beach for the benefit of the waiting paparazzi
Hilton has been tweeting up a storm since arriving on the paradise island. Saturday night she tweeted: 'Cooked a delicious lasagna dinner for my love and watched a movie. Now going to bed. Sweet dreams everyone. Xo Paris.' Then on Sunday Hilton tweeted cheerfully throughout the day: 'I Love Scuba Diving - Look a rainbow for good luck,' she wrote. 'I felt like Ariel the little mermaid under the sea today. So much fun!...I love Maui.' She didn't just frolic with her boyfriend though, Hilton also took in a little culture - hitting up some local art galleries: 'There are so many amazing art galleries in Maui,' she wrote. 'I love it!...so many unique pieces of work.'

On Monday the pair were spotted out shopping, with Hilton picking up a few pairs of earrings.
Hilton was dressed in a daring low cut dress that left little to the imagination, whilst Waits, 34, was clad in a black vest, baggy shorts and 'LOVE' baseball cap.
The holiday pictures are the first time the pair have been snapped together since Hilton was arrested for possessing cocaine when her car was stopped by police in Las Vegas late on August 27.
Waits was also arrested for DUI during the night out with his girlfriend.

She has been charged with felony possession of a controlled substance, 0.8 grams of cocaine.
The socialite could face four years in prison if convicted.
She is denying the allegations, claiming the cocaine found, along with the purse, was not hers.
She said she had borrowed the purse from a friend.

Waits troubles go further than just his rrest for a DUI.
The former club promoter has also been fired from his job after less than a week as top managing partner of the Tryst Nightclub at Wynn and XS The Nightclub at Encore.
Hilton has also been banned from the two Wynn resorts on the Las Vegas Strip.
A spokesman said: 'Cy Waits has been separated from the company and is free to pursue other interests. Wynn has no further comment on this matter.'

Meanwhile Hilton's legal woes continue to build with news that she may be forced to cough up $160,000 for breaching the terms of a film contract.
Last week, Florida District Judge Federico Moreno ruled that Hilton violated the terms of of her contract with Worldwide Entertainment when she failed to promote 2006 movie Pledge This! in Europe.
However, there was a small amount of good news for the embattled star.
While Worldwide Entertainment wanted Hilton's $1 million fee in compensation for her neglected duties, the court found 'that these instances of failure to promote were worth $160,000.'
