The scene depicts a sandy beach in Dikwella, Sri Lanka, under an overcast sky with scattered cirrus clouds. A row of approximately ten brightly painted traditional fishing boats, predominantly light blue, turquoise, yellow, green, and red-brown, are beached on the light brown sand, angled from the lower left towards the mid-right. Each boat features wooden outrigger structures and appears to contain fishing equipment. In the background on the left, numerous tall palm trees line the shore, partially obscuring buildings with reddish-brown tiled roofs and a white fence. Some green foliage is visible beneath the palms. On the mid-left, one individual is partially visible near a turquoise boat, seemingly engaged with it. Further to the right, another individual stands near a beached boat. On the far right, ocean waves are breaking on the shore, and several small figures are visible in the shallow water. Footprints are discernible in the sand, along with a small piece of refuse.
