This image depicts a sunny beach scene in Altea, Spain. In the central foreground, a green rectangular sign with white text is mounted on a grey metal pole. The sign displays "Ajuntament d'Altea" with a municipal emblem at the top, followed by "A la platja GOSSOS NO" (Catalan) and "En la playa PERROS NO" (Spanish), both indicating "No dogs on the beach." A circular prohibition symbol, showing a black dog silhouette crossed by a red diagonal line, is on the left side of the sign. Behind the sign, several mature palm trees with rough brown trunks and green fronds dominate the midground. Some fronds feature clusters of small, yellowish-orange fruit. The ground consists of light-colored sand with scattered white pebbles around the base of the palm trees and the sign. Sections of wooden boardwalk are visible on the left and right edges of the sandy area. In the background, the calm blue sea extends to the horizon under a clear blue sky. A long, grey stone breakwater stretches into the water from the left, with another shorter breakwater visible further to the right. Bright sunlight illuminates the scene, casting distinct shadows from the palm trees and the sign onto the sand. A lens flare is visible in the upper right quadrant of the image. No people or animals are present in the scene.
