It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.

Reflections of sand and water make the Sun's UV rays stronger.
