Should I use reef-safe sunscreen in Ocean City?

Answer

Choosing sunscreens marketed as reef-conscious is a common visitor preference while swimming in the ocean. Minimize aerosol overspray on windy dunes and pack out empty containers. Pair sunscreen with rash guards to reduce how much product you need.
