Take special precautions, as unprotected eyes and skin can be burned and damaged quickly. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear. Before exposing yourself to the Sun, apply sunscreen with 30 SPF or higher. This safeguards against sunburn and its harmful radiation. Be attentive! The UV exposure is heightened with reflections from sand and water.
