Take the necessary steps to protect yourself; unprotected skin and eyes are vulnerable to damage. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays. If you tend to burn easily, reduce your time in direct sunlight. And never forget to apply a sunscreen with 30 SPF or more. Stay aware! UV radiation is magnified when reflecting off sand and water.
