Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended. 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. Stay alert! Reflective properties of sand and water amplify the Sun's UV radiation.
