The image is a black and white photograph of a crowded beach scene. The photograph is taken from a high vantage point, looking down on the beach. The beach is crowded with people of all ages, some standing and some sitting on the sand. There are tents set up on the right side of the image, and a large crowd of people can be seen in the foreground. In the background, there is a large body of water with a ship sailing on it. On the left side, there are several buildings and a castle-like structure. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the photograph is somber.
