Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects. Broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or above should be applied generously and reapplied every two hours and right after any outdoor activity or swim. Be alert! The reflection of water and sand augments UV radiation intensity.
