Photons from the sun go through water because it is invisible, and then it heats up the lake bed. The lake bed is cold because it's underwater, so it absorbs the heat. However when photons from the sun hit the shore and land, it creates what is called "Ionizing radiation". This can be quite harmful, and causes skin cancer. When oxygen is reacted with ionizing radiation, it produces heat.
