Some are standing further out, while others are closer to the shore. Children are visible among the adults. On the left side of the sand, two people are seated in red chairs, one lying down and the other reclined. The background features a calm body of water that appears to be a bay or cove, framed by rocky, vegetated hills on either side.

The sky is bright blue with scattered clouds and the sun is a strong, bright presence in the upper left corner. The overall impression is a busy, sunny day at a popular beach.
