A man paddling in the sea in front of some white cliffs. He wears purple and black check trousers and a wine red waistcoat over a white shirt, and holds a large green umbrella over his top hat. Sitting on the beach are two women, one holding the man's coat and shading herself with a small parasol over which a handkerchief is draped. The other is leaning against a young man and they are sharing an umbrella. On the cliff top are three figures, one looking through a telescope, a woman with a parasol, and someone looking over the cliff edge.
