Carry out all vital precautions. Protection from sun exposure is a must. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck. Even on overcast days, a sunscreen with a sun protection factor of no less than 30 should be generously applied and reapplied, particularly after swimming or outdoor activities. Heads up! Sand and water reflection magnifies the UV exposure from the Sun.
