Protection should always be a priority. Skin and eyes are vulnerable without it. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat. For best protection against the Sun, use a sunscreen with no less than 30 SPF. This helps prevent sunburn and negative effects on the immune system. Caution! The reflection of sand and water significantly amplifies the Sun's UV radiation.
