Summary:
Sunny beach scene depicting figures playing in the surf as foamy white waves roll toward shore. In the foreground a young boy runs across the water while another boy dips his head under the water, and nearby a father holds up his young son's arms as he dunks him into the water. The mother watches from the left side, and two young girls and a boy play just behind her.
