The image displays a daytime scene on a sandy beach in Almancil, Portugal, under a clear, unblemished blue sky that occupies the upper two-thirds of the frame. The mid-ground features the blue-green waters of the ocean with gentle waves approaching the shore. The bottom third of the image shows light brown, textured sand. Approximately seven individuals are present. On the beach, in the mid-ground, one person wearing light-colored clothing and a hat walks away from the viewer, towards the water, carrying a striped towel over their left arm. To the left of this individual, a group of five to six people are gathered on the sand near the waterline; some are reclined on towels, while others are seated or standing. Objects near this group include a red inflatable ring, blue beach gear, and multiple colored towels. In the ocean, at least three individuals are visible swimming or wading. A lone person stands in the shallow water further to the right in the mid-distance. The immediate foreground sand contains small pebbles and what appears to be a discarded cigarette butt.
