Sun Safety

Too much fun in the sun isn’t a good thing if you become dehydrated or get a sunburn. Some common-sense tips can make your day at Lost Island safe and enjoyable!

Drink lots of fluids throughout the day to prevent dehydration.

Apply sunscreen early! Ultraviolet radiation (also known as UV rays) is the strongest during the summer, so generously apply waterproof sunscreen to your body 30 minutes before you go outside. (Use SPF 15 or higher). Don’t miss areas under your suit and on your feet; your suit can move around and expose skin where sunscreen wasn’t applied.

Bring a T-shirt, hat, and sunglasses for extra protection if needed.
