The image depicts a crowded pebbly beach in Nice, France, under a partially cloudy blue sky during daylight hours. In the foreground, a man is seated on a striped towel on the grey pebbles, wearing dark swim briefs and a white baseball cap, looking to the left. His upper torso is bare and tanned. To his right, a person is lying prone on a light-colored mat, wearing a black long-sleeved top and black swim bottoms, holding a newspaper or magazine. Their head rests on a white pillow. In the midground, various individuals are visible, seated on chairs or lying on towels. A woman in a straw hat and patterned top is seated in a beach chair to the left of a prominent bright green beach umbrella. Other beachgoers are spread across the pebbles, some under additional umbrellas, including a white one with red trim and a black-and-white striped one. Colorful towels are draped over items or laid out on the pebbles. The background features a low wall separating the beach from a promenade where more people are visible. Beyond the promenade, tall palm trees stand, and further to the right, a verdant hillside (characteristic of Castle Hill) rises steeply, covered in dense foliage, with some structures discernible at its peak. Banners or flags are visible along the promenade on the right side. The overall scene is one of a public beach gathering on a sunny day.
