Undertake all key precautions, as unprotected skin and eyes may get burns in no time. 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. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half. Despite the cloudy weather, sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least 30 should be liberally applied and reapplied, including after a swim or outdoor activity. Stay alert! Reflective properties of sand and water amplify the Sun's UV radiation.
