Miley Cyrus Hangs at the Beach

Miley Cyrus relaxes on the beach with a friend while filming the new Hannah Montana movie in Malibu.

Miley sported a modest swimsuit, no doubt keeping things under wrap due to the negative press surrounding her leaked Myspace pictures and controversial Vanity Fair photos. I'm sure Disney is keeping her on a short leash.

15-year-old Miley has already been immortalized in wax at Madame Tussauds London, but she hasn't yet become jaded from the attention and fame. The teen has been seen out and about in Malibu while filming, and is still congenial to the paparazzi who swarm her, seemingly taking it all in stride.

The highly anticipated Hannah Montana film hits the big screen May 1, 2009.
