It\u2019s time to <strong>head for the beach<\/strong>, don your snorkel mask and fins and cool off in the water or set sail on a yacht or catamaran. We love basking in the sun but there\u2019s nothing worse than starting your vacation with painful sunburned shoulders or back. <strong>Here are some tips for staying fresh in the heat.<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\n1. <strong>Make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day, at least two liters<\/strong>. Humidity is high here and you don\u2019t want to become dehydrated.2.

Bear in mind that <strong>you can still burn even when it is cloudy or breezy. <\/strong>10. <strong>Sun products should always <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> be reapplied after bathing.<\/strong>11.<strong> Please use environmentally friendly sun products to protect marine life and coral reefs and shower before entering the water.<\/strong>12. <strong>Wear a t-shirt<\/strong> if you plan to go snorkeling.13. <strong>Wear cool cotton clothing<\/strong> in white, cream or pale colors.14. <strong>Snack on fresh fruit and vegetables. <\/strong>Try sliced jicama (similar to water chestnut), cucumber, carrots and green peppers doused in lime juice and sprinkled with chili powder, delicious!<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo: <a title=\"flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/vazquez100\/6956531503\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-mce-href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/vazquez100\/6956531503\/\">Eduardo Vazquez (Flickr)<\/a><\/em>15. <strong>Add some freshly squeezed lime, orange or grapefruit juice to your water or try some of the local tropical fruit drinks<\/strong> made with guanabana or soursop, mango, pitahaya and guava and jamaica, which is a tangy iced tea made with the dried petals of the hibiscus flower, you\u2019ll find them very refreshing.16.
