Adventure Tips

Secure your umbrella firmly

Anchor the umbrella deep into the sand to prevent it from blowing away during ocean breezes or sudden gusts.

Use UV protection cream too

Even with the umbrella shade, applying sunscreen is important for areas not covered by fabric.

Pick a spot with natural windbreak

Set up near dunes or vegetation to limit wind exposure and increase umbrella stability.

Avoid peak sun hours

Plan umbrella use before 10am or after 4pm when the UV index is lower for maximum sun safety.
