Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days. Applying and reapplying liberally a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ every two hours, and straight after a swim or outdoor activity is recommended. Take note! Sand and water reflections strengthen the Sun's UV exposure.
