The image depicts a bright, sunlit coastal scene viewed from a wooden pier, identified as the Malibu Pier in Malibu, California, United States. The sky, occupying the upper two-thirds of the frame, is clear and a uniform light blue, with a strong, radiant sun visible in the upper right quadrant, producing a prominent vertical lens flare. The mid-ground features the Pacific Ocean, displaying light blue and turquoise tones. Waves are visible, particularly as they break towards the sandy shoreline. Numerous small, distant figures, likely surfers, are discernible in the ocean along the wave line. The coastline stretches from the left to the right. On the left, a distant sandy point with some trees and structures is visible. A wide, sandy beach runs towards the right, populated by scattered individuals. On the right side of the frame, a steep, dark green, vegetated hillside (part of the Santa Monica Mountains) rises directly from the beach. A road with multiple parked vehicles and several buildings, including what appears to be a restaurant with large windows, are situated along the base of the hillside. In the foreground, the wooden deck of the pier is visible. White painted wooden railings with three horizontal beams traverse the lower-middle of the frame, separating the pier deck from the ocean. A circular, grey metal umbrella stand base is positioned on the pier deck in the lower-center. Partial views of wooden table surfaces are visible on the far left and far right of the foreground. A round, white-cased bulkhead light fixture is mounted on a vertical post of the pier railing on the right side. The scene is brightly lit by direct sunlight, casting strong reflections on the water and defining shadows on the pier deck.
