Chanel hit the beach Saturday with boyfriend Sterling Shepard, who's a wide receiver for the New York Giants. They've been dating since January ... in model years that's a lot longer.

She was workin' the camera in a big way, posing with a girlfriend and just looking super good.

They're in Miami to celebrate July 4th weekend. Thanks to Chanel for facilitating a pre-4th celebration for people far, far away.
