The image depicts a beach scene in Castro Marim, Portugal, under bright natural light, likely late afternoon. The foreground is framed by the hanging straw fringe of an overhead thatched parasol. The sandy beach, with faint rippled patterns, extends across the scene. In the midground, multiple rows of unoccupied white plastic sun loungers with bright yellow cushions are uniformly arranged on the sand. Each pair of loungers is positioned beneath a large, conical thatched parasol supported by a black pole, some of which feature small, dark circular tables. At least three full rows of loungers and parasols are visible, receding towards the sea. In the background, near the waterline, approximately five individuals are present. Two people stand partially submerged in the shallow, calm blue-green sea, one with their back to the viewer. Closer to the water's edge on the sand, a small group of two or three other individuals are seated or reclining. The sea exhibits small, breaking waves, and the horizon is marked by a clear, pale sky.
