By the way, about the sun: keep in mind that even if the packaging of sunscreen is written that it is "water resistant," this does not mean that it does not wash away the sweat Alas, wash! Therefore, playing on the beach, outdoor games, do not forget to update the layer of cream at least once an hour. Better - immediately after swimming in the sea or river. Apply the cream only on dry skin, otherwise it will slip off the shoulders and shoulder blades in minutes.

Many avid beach volleyball players often complain that in such leisure face, shoulders, chest and arms burn much, but the legs do not tan at all. Alas, ideally torso and legs is "brown" separately. During strong sun (about 11 to 15 hours) should play a T-shirt with long sleeves, thus causing the cream to his feet with an average level of protection (8 - 12 SPF). But in the morning or evening hours beach holiday You can expose to the sun the upper body.

If you still prefer to be entertained lying, do not forget to regularly "roll over" as well as from time to time to crawl into a dense shade umbrella: otherwise, is possible to obtain heat stroke .  Also worth at least every half an hour to go swimming - cool water normalizes vascular response .  While lying down, play (if you have someone) in the city, or in the names of very popular now home games quiz type Alias ​​or Activity .  Alone, you can, of course, just to read, and can be assembled nearby stones, shells and sticks and lay down near the deck chairs mosaic .  You can dig a hole in the sand and make it "refrigerator" for water bottles .  You can sit by the water and, as a child, to dig a "channel" with a chain of pools .  And, you can make piles of sand and water "installation" and to photograph them - well, at least on the phone .  Those who have a child who will be morally better to stay near the water with a bucket and molds - to borrow a couple of children of their own and play plenty .
