Kellan Lutz is having a little pre-Comic Con vacay.

The 27-year-old actor, who plays Emmett in the popular vampire film series Twilight, was seen hitting the beach in Miami, Florida, on Tuesday with his girlfriend Sharni Vinson.

Frolicking in both the sand and the ocean, the couple had tons of fun as Lutz playfully tossed his bikini'd girlfriend -- who he's been seeing for about a year -- around in the water. The Australian actress, who was featured in the 2010 film Step Up 3-D, certainly looked slim in her colorful two piece.

In just two days time, Lutz will be on hand for the all-important last Twilight Comic Con panel ever.

Every summer since 2008, fans have been treated to panels featuring their favorite Twilight characters. Since The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part II -- the fourth and final installment -- is hitting theaters in November, this is the last time fans will see these stars at the world renowned convention.

The final panel will take place at the San Diego convention on Thursday July 12. The Twilight holy trinity -- Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner -- will all be in attendance.

Lutz doesn't seem to be too torn up about it, as he has taken full advantage of his Floridian vacay. He tweeted on Monday:
