Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck. Broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or above should be applied generously and reapplied every two hours and right after any outdoor activity or swim. Beware! The strength of the UV rays is significantly increased by the reflection of the water and sand.
