The image depicts a beachfront residential area in Malibu, United States, under a clear blue sky with direct sunlight from the upper left. The foreground consists of a light tan sandy beach with small waves breaking on the left side, showing scattered pebbles and some patches of green seaweed. A row of multi-story residential structures is constructed directly on the beach, elevated on various support systems. The prominent building on the right features a modern design: a large, cantilevered deck clad in light-brown horizontal wood planks extends over the sand, supported by a dark, likely black, metal substructure. This deck is equipped with a black metal railing featuring horizontal cable infill. The upper portion of this house has light-colored siding, an upper balcony with a matching railing, and a white scalloped awning above a window. To the left, a series of similar beachfront houses continues down the coastline. These structures are also elevated on wooden pilings and cross-bracing, which appear weathered. They exhibit various architectural styles, including white and gray exteriors, and feature multiple balconies with dark railings. A sparsely vegetated hillside is visible in the distant background on the far left. In the bottom right corner of the frame, a partial view of a rust-colored metal staircase descends towards the sand. Long shadows from the elevated buildings and their support structures are cast across the beach. No individuals are distinctly visible within the scene.
