Top Local Tips for Cape Town

Sunburn watch! PLEASE!!! You must watch yourself in the sun while in Buzios. I live in Hawaii and am tan but burned heavily after just a few hours at the beach in Buzios. I applied a 30 spf sunblock and my husband even reapplied and still got fried. Do not sit in the sun around noon. It's just too dangerous. Go for lunch and sit under a canopy for that time period and lay out after the dangerous time period and please use the highest SPF. The sun is much stronger in the southern hemisphere and getting friend will ruin your vacation and increase your chances of getting skin cancer than tanning slowly.
