Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly. Before exposing yourself to the Sun, apply sunscreen with 30 SPF or higher. This safeguards against sunburn and its harmful radiation. Beware! The strength of the UV rays is significantly increased by the reflection of the water and sand.
