Why do we feel so tired after spending time sunbathing?

When you spend the whole day just lying on the beach, you feel so exhausted by the end of the day. How come does it happen?

The other commenters are both correct.

1) your body had to work harder to stay cool; pumping more blood to you skin surface to dump heat and utter associated steps.

2) your skin was absorbing UV and has to deal with the damage. Some of your skins cells literally died and your body is now dealing with the waste products. The reason we get sunburns is because the skin was damaged and is literally killing itself off to avoid becoming cancer (or at least trying to). Obviously, your skin is constantly shedding a sun growing new skin. Now it has to grow a whole lot more than it would have otherwise. And that takes energy.
