Description

A pale sandy beach curves along the foreground, scattered with large weathered rock blocks and smaller stones. Gentle waves break at the water's edge, and calm sea stretches to the horizon, where a small rocky island sits on the right. Steep rocky hills with sparse scrub rise on the left under a hazy sky.
