The scene depicts a beach in Cap-d'Ail, France. In the foreground, two pairs of human legs are visible. One pair of tanned legs extends centrally towards the water, resting on a black and white striped beach mat. To the left, a single left foot and lower leg from another individual are also positioned on the mat. An amber-colored bottle, consistent with suntan oil, featuring an orange cap, lies horizontally on the striped mat to the left of the central legs. The mat is placed on a sandy beach composed of light brown sand mixed with small pebbles. Beyond the shoreline, the blue-green ocean exhibits small breaking waves. In the middle ground of the water, several indistinct human figures are partially visible, engaged in swimming or wading. Bright sunlight creates reflections on the water's surface.
