The image depicts a wide, curved sandy beach on a clear, sunny day in Noumea, New Caledonia, France, specifically identifiable as Anse Vata Beach due to the distinctive features. The sky, occupying the upper third of the frame, is a uniform light blue and cloudless. The water transitions from a shallow, clear turquoise near the shore to a deeper blue further out, with gentle waves lapping the sand. In the foreground, an individual is lying prone on the light beige sand, facing away from the camera, dressed in dark clothing. A white cooler bag rests on the sand immediately to their right. To the left, a small rocky islet extends from the coastline into the water, topped by a single prominent palm tree and smaller vegetation. The water surrounding this islet appears darker, indicating greater depth. The coastline beyond the islet is covered with dense green foliage. The background along the curving bay features a dense line of tropical palm trees and other greenery separating the beach from urban development. Behind these trees, a distinct row of tall, slender Norfolk Pines rises, characteristic of the region. Partially visible through and above the trees are several modern buildings, including a multi-story structure with light-colored facades and horizontal architectural elements, suggesting a resort or residential complex. Several indistinct human figures are visible on the distant beach and in the shallow water near the tree line.
