Rishi Sunak beams with wife and kids as they soak up the sun at Santa Monica Pier on California holiday

RISHI Sunak beams as he finally gets to the beach with his wife and kids.

The PM and his family posed up for snaps at Santa Monica Pier on their California holiday.

The PM will be away for a week with wife Akshata, and daughters Anoushka and Krishna.

Oliver Dowden, the deputy PM, will be filling in for him while he's gone.

But he's expected to do some work and keep updated with important issues while he's gone.

Earlier this week the PM revealed he'd be taking his girls to Disneyland - and he was really excited about the new Star Wars exhibition there.

He told LBC he was ready for some down time with his family to properly relax.

No10 said the family hadn't been on a proper holiday since 2020 when he became Chancellor just before the pandemic hit.

He tried to escape off to Ibiza last year - but then had to return back after the Queen died.

The PM and his wife have a family home in California, where they first met as Harvard students in their early 20s.

The snaps were taken just hours after the PM's Yorkshire home suffered a major security breach - when Greenpeace activists scoured the building.

Cops came under fire after oil activists got onto the roof and draped black sheets down from it in protest over his decision to sign off on more oil and gas licences.

MPs and police experts called for an investigation into how on earth they were able to get up on top of his home in Richmond, Yorkshire.
