Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat. If you're sensitive to the Sun, minimize your direct exposure and always apply sunscreen with at least 30 SPF. Take caution! The UV rays from the Sun gain strength from sand and water reflections.
