A forward-facing photograph depicts a wooden boardwalk extending from the foreground towards the Atlantic Ocean and a sandy beach in Matosinhos, Portugal, under a clear blue sky. The boardwalk, constructed from light-toned timber planks, is flanked by wooden post and rope barriers. Strong sunlight from the right casts distinct, elongated shadows of these barriers onto the boardwalk's surface and the adjacent sand dunes. These dunes support sparse, low-lying green and brown vegetation. The boardwalk terminates at a wide, light-colored sand beach. The ocean displays light blue water with visible white-crested waves breaking towards the shore. Multiple indistinct, small human figures are barely visible on the distant beach, accompanied by a faint reddish object, possibly a beach shelter. Dark rock formations are present on the far left side of the beach near the water line. A single, dark, slender pole leans rightward in the mid-ground, extending into the clear blue sky on the right side of the frame.
