Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays. 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. Be careful! The Sun's UV radiation is accentuated by reflecting off sand and water.
