Be constantly cautious; skin and eyes can be quickly affected if left unprotected. 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. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage. Even when the sky is cloudy, apply generously and frequently reapply a sunscreen with SPF 30 or more, especially post every swim or outdoor exercise. Attention! The combination of sand and water reflections enhances UV ray intensity.
