we tan here - the lily white tourists burn 
Hehe...was waiting for someone from the Sunshine State to say something like this.
I am a local, but I work in an office. My face, arms and legs are very tanned, mostly from riding a moped/scooter to work every day.
The rest of my body tends to stay very tourist like until early June, which is about the time I start to take the kids swimming on a daily basis, after work, and on weekends. This past weekend was the first really hot sunny one, so as a result of not putting on some sort of protection I got fried. The big difference between me and a lilly white tourist is that my burn fades to tan very quickly while theirs peels of in strips.
We used to have a good chuckle at the pink whales on the beaches. I've seen some pretty bad cases of sunstroke result from people who fall asleep.
