Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage. Even on overcast days, ensure the application and frequent reapplication of sunscreen with at least an SPF 30, especially post swim or outdoor exercise. Be cautious! Sand and water surfaces make the Sun's UV rays more potent.
