Always stay safe. Unprotected skin and eyes can get damaged rapidly. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes. After a swim or outdoor exercise, one should liberally reapply broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 30 or higher. Beware! Reflecting off water and sand, UV rays are much stronger.
