The scene shows a beach on a partially cloudy day. A group of people are spread out in the water, some swimming or wading further out while others are closer to the shore. Two boys stand at the edge of the water; one is slightly ahead, waist-deep, while the other is a bit closer to the shore. The tide is coming in gently, with small waves washing onto the beach. The sky is blue with scattered white and grey clouds. The sand appears dark.
