Staying Safe Under the Summer Sun

August is Summer Sun Safety Month! What can you do to stay safe under the intense summer sun? 

  • Hydration! Make sure you’re drinking enough water and getting enough electrolytes. 
  • Sunglasses! These help protect your eyes, prevent cataracts, and the delicate skin around your eyes. Make sure they’re UV for maximum protection.
  • Skin protection! If you’re showing skin, use some reef-friendly sunblock. You can also choose to cover up using long sleeves, pants, hats, or umbrellas. Be sure to wear breathable fabric to avoid overheating.
