A group of people at a rocky beach or coastline. There are two adults and two children standing near the water's edge, with a large black shaggy dog sitting on the sand. The scenery includes rocky cliffs or formations in the background and the ocean. The people are dressed casually - one person is wearing a red jacket, and the others are in various casual attire suitable for a beach outing. The group seems to be observing something in the water or along the shoreline together.
