The image depicts a daytime coastal scene in Sestri Levante, Italy, specifically from the Baia delle Favole (Bay of Fables) looking towards the peninsula. The foreground features a dark pebble beach where two children are present. One child, wearing blue shorts, is squatting near the waterline, appearing to interact with the pebbles. Another smaller child, in a light-colored swimsuit, sits at the water's edge, holding a blue container. The mid-ground shows the calm, light blue water of the bay, populated by approximately 15-20 individuals. Many are wading or swimming; a woman in a pink swimsuit stands upright in mid-thigh deep water, facing left, with another person partially obscured beside her. A pink inflatable raft is visible with at least one person on it and others in the water nearby. Yellow buoys are scattered across the water. In the background, on the distant shoreline of the peninsula, a prominent white building with arched windows on its upper floor is visible, indicative of a club or establishment like the Circolo Velico Luigi Sirena. To the left of this building, a quay or pier with people and lampposts extends into the water. Numerous small boats, including motorboats, are moored in the bay adjacent to the distant shore. A dense, dark green, tree-covered hillside rises steeply behind the distant buildings and shoreline. The scene is illuminated by natural light, suggesting late afternoon or early morning, with the distant hillside in partial shadow.
