Take special precautions, as unprotected eyes and skin can be burned and damaged quickly. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half. Regularly apply and reapply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF 30 every two hours, or straight after swimming or an outdoor activity. Heads up! Sand and water reflection magnifies the UV exposure from the Sun.
