It's almost time for the kiddies to go on spring break here in God's Blind Spot, USA...
...so I thought I'd mention a couple tips.

* Don't eat/drink citrusy stuff before sunbathing, as this will result in "lime burn", a condition in which your tan is splotchy or mottled... unfortunately, it also tends to occur around the mouth so it's especially un-sexy. It's called "lime burn", but it can happen with any citrusy food/drink. Beware the lime burn.

* Nail polish wears off really easily when you go to the beach or the pool, so make sure you put on an extra coat or two of topcoat before you swim--the sand, salt water, and chlorine are killer on your nails.

* Sharks are attracted to shiny jewelry (they shimmer like fish scales do). Remove any rings, necklaces, etc. before swimming in the ocean.

* You should use about a shot glass-full of sunscreen a day in the summer (that's about 1.5 fl oz).

That's all I can think of at the moment.
