The image depicts a rocky coastal area within Machico, Portugal, under a clear blue sky with scattered white cumulus clouds. The foreground consists of a densely packed expanse of smooth, rounded pebbles and larger, irregularly shaped dark grey boulders, extending to the water's edge. The ocean is clear, displaying shades of blue and green, with gentle waves breaking near the shore. On the right side of the frame, a dark, rugged cliff face juts into the water, at the base of which a concrete pier or jetty is visible. This structure features multiple levels and dark, circular fenders affixed to its side. Several indistinct human figures are standing on the pier. In the water, three individuals are present: two are closer to the rocky shore on the left, partially submerged and appearing to swim or wade, while a third individual is further out in the mid-ground. In the far distance on the left horizon, a faint mast or silhouette of a small sailboat is discernible.
