The image displays a beach scene at either sunrise or sunset in Almancil, Portugal. The sky transitions from a light blue at the zenith to a warm orange and yellow gradient near the horizon. The sun's distinct orange disk is positioned just above the horizon line over a calm, reflective ocean. A small vessel is visible in the distant water to the left. The foreground and mid-ground are comprised of light-colored sand with undulating patterns. Four individuals are present in the mid-ground: two are seated upright on a light-colored mat, facing left; two are lying prone on a mat to their right, facing the ocean. All four appear to be in swimwear. Further along the shoreline, in the distant right, a group of approximately five to seven individuals are walking along the water's edge, appearing as dark silhouettes. Along the right side of the frame, a continuous line of thatched-roof parasols and associated lounge chairs extends into the distance. The closest parasol is partially visible in the extreme right foreground. The overall scene is illuminated by the soft, warm light of the low sun.
