Put into action all crucial precautions. Defense against sun damage is a must. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended. Shield yourself from sunburn by using sunscreen of a minimum 30 SPF. This also limits the Sun's harmful effects on the immune system. Note! The Sun's UV radiation gets intensified with the reflection from sand and water.
