sunbathers

Bronzers on towels

Sunbathers are people who sit or lie in the sun, typically to relax or to darken their skin.

The term most often evokes beaches, poolsides, or parks where people spread out towels and expose themselves to sunlight.

Sunbathers lined the shore from end to end.

The practice carries health trade-offs: vitamin D absorption balanced against skin cancer risk from UV exposure.
