The image captures an evening scene on the dark sand and pebble beach of Baia del Silenzio in Sestri Levante, Italy, facing east towards the rocky promontory and the town's small harbor. The sky displays a clear gradient from light blue overhead to a warm yellow-orange near the horizon, indicative of late afternoon or early evening light. Approximately 15-20 individuals are present. In the foreground, a young child in a patterned one-piece swimsuit walks away from the viewer towards the waterline on the left. Further left, another child in blue swim trunks performs a handstand or somersault at the water's edge, near a third small child seated in the shallow water. Moving right along the waterline, a pre-teen boy in dark swim trunks walks leftward holding a light-colored float. Beside him, an adult male, bald or closely shaven, in dark swim trunks, walks leftward carrying a dark object. To the far right in the foreground, an adult female in a dark red two-piece bikini walks away from the viewer towards the water, holding a lit cigarette in her right hand. Several other individuals are visible in the mid-ground water, partially submerged, swimming or wading. The calm water of the bay extends to a distant shoreline on the right, where numerous small to medium-sized boats are moored at a marina or pier. White buildings are discernible at the base of a steep, densely vegetated hill that dominates the left background. A prominent single tree stands atop the hill. Two small, colorful plastic beach toys (red and pink) are visible on the dark sand near the waterline in the far right foreground.
