Everybody needs a vacation once in awhile, and Michael J. Fox and his wife were spotted on a beautiful beach in St. Barts on Tuesday (March 9).

The “Family Ties” co-stars - who have been married since 1988 – looked to be having a marvelous time splashing in the ocean, and soaking up the sun.

In other news, being a victim of Parkinson’s disease, Fox will be honored for giving an astounding $175 million for the research of developing medication for the disease.

According to the BBC, the iconic actor will receive an honorary degree of medicine from Sweden’s Karolinska Institute which also awards the annual Nobel Prize in the same discipline.
