Without proper safety measures, skin and eyes can be quickly harmed. Be sure to protect yourself. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely. It's best to limit the time spent in direct sunlight, especially if you're susceptible to sunburn. Always use sunscreen with 30 SPF or more. Caution! The reflection of sand and water significantly amplifies the Sun's UV radiation.
