Immediate damage can occur to skin and eyes if left unprotected. Always take necessary precautions. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance. Heed this! UV intensity is much stronger when reflected off sand and water.
