A high-angle forensic view captures Plage Mala, a beach and cove in Cap-d'Ail, France, under bright daylight. The scene encompasses a sandy beach, clear turquoise to deep blue water, and steep, vegetated rock cliffs forming a natural bay. **Environment:** The water, transitioning from shallow, transparent turquoise near the shore to a darker blue in deeper sections, reveals underwater rock formations. Gentle waves ripple along the sandy shoreline, which is interspersed with small pebbles. Towering, rugged cliffs with sparse green foliage define the bay's perimeter. Several structures, including residential buildings, are visible on the upper left cliff face. **Subjects and Objects:** Approximately 45-50 individuals are present. * **In the Water:** Roughly 17-20 people are engaged in water activities. Two individuals are on paddleboards; one stands, the other sits. One person floats on a light blue inflatable mat. The remaining individuals are swimming, wading, or floating close to the shore. Several small white boats and yachts are anchored further out in the bay. Yellow buoys and a segmented white rope barrier mark sections of the water. * **On the Beach:** Around 25-30 people occupy the light-colored sand. Most are spread out on beach towels or mats of various colors (pink, blue, patterned), primarily sunbathing or sitting. Three blue beach umbrellas provide shade. One individual stands near the waterline, facing the water, while another stands further back holding a pink item. Two individuals in the lower right are bent over, possibly adjusting items. Personal belongings like bags and bottles are visible near groups. **Actions and Interactions:** Individuals in the water are swimming, paddleboarding, and relaxing on an inflatable. On the beach, people are sunbathing, sitting, and standing. No explicit interactions between individuals are discernible due to the distance, but people are clustered in groups, suggesting social engagement. The overall scene depicts a busy recreational area.
