The image depicts a crowded coastal scene in Vernazza, Italy, specifically at the rocky inlet near its main harbor and the Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia. In the foreground, large, dark grey rock formations cover the lower half of the frame. Scattered on these rocks are various personal items: a blue patterned beach towel, a black backpack, a pair of black sneakers with pink stripes, and light-colored sandals. Several individuals are present on the rocks; one person is lying prone, another individual and a couple are seated near the water's edge, and a woman is seated further right. The midground features a body of water, likely the Ligurian Sea, filled with numerous people swimming, wading, and standing. Small boats, including fishing or leisure craft, are moored in the water on the right. A yellow kayak rests on a stone platform extending from the shore on the left. The background showcases the distinctive architecture of Vernazza. On the left, the Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia stands prominently with its grey stone facade and octagonal bell tower topped with a dome. Adjacent to it is a building with horizontal grey and white stripes. The hillside rising behind the harbor is densely packed with multi-story, pastel-colored buildings, characteristic of Cinque Terre. To the far right, atop the highest point of the hillside, the ruin of Doria Castle is visible. The sky above is largely overcast with white and grey clouds, though some brighter areas suggest filtered sunlight.
