Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full 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. Be cautious! Sand and water surfaces make the Sun's UV rays more potent.
