Sun protection options: umbrellas, hats, and sunscreen
As a fair-skinned person, I am always looking for the best ways to hide from the sun.
In addition to sunscreen and sunhats, I have a really nice compact and light umbrella/ sunbrella. This works for rain and sun so it is great for going anywhere. It’s got a pretty flower on the inside, and there are several other options available.
Additionally, I bring sunscreen.
If you are traveling to the Caribbean islands, you may want to check out what sunscreen you can bring. Some places are restricting what can be used at the beach (or even brought onto the island). This is to prevent the visitors who are seeing the sealife from adding to its destruction in order to not burn while in the water.

The above is a good ecologically conscious sunscreen that likely will pass any countries rules as it is a mineral sunscreen (rather than a chemical one that can kill the sea life you are visiting). It is available on Amazon 
For general traveling (without snorkeling, etc.), I prefer to use a non-liquid sunscreen so I don’t have to worry about going over the TSA limit. I like this, from Neutrogena.
It spreads well for a roll-on and rubs in clear. It also seems to stay on well in hot environments. Plus it’s water-resistant and broad-spectrum.
For hats for travel, I want something that can handle being packed and jammed into bags. The top one here comes in several colors and rolls into a small bundle that can be put in your backpack’s water pocket or other small places.
And as anyone who knows me is aware, I like color. And this one is available in many colors (and sizes!) and has the added benefit of a chin strap so it likely won’t blow away in windy places.
