The image depicts a sunlit coastal scene on a sandy beach in Matosinhos, Portugal, specifically along a developed stretch featuring dunes and a boardwalk. The foreground is composed of light brown sand, showing minor textural variations and scattered small detritus. A single white and grey seagull is depicted in horizontal flight across the mid-frame, its wings extended, casting a sharp, dark shadow directly below it on the sand. No human subjects are visible. In the background, a red pole supports a blue rectangular sign on the left, bearing text in Portuguese, English, and French, which indicates a "Bathing Zone" and prohibits "Kitesurfing," with a left-pointing arrow. Behind this, an elevated wooden boardwalk with railings traverses the scene horizontally, situated atop a dune covered with sparse green and grey vegetation and sections of wooden dune fencing. Further in the background, a white delivery-style van with "AF SPORT" printed on its side is visible, seemingly parked on an unseen surface behind the boardwalk. Two tall flagpoles with yellow and blue flags, and two dark grey lampposts, are present in the far background. The sky is clear and light blue.
