Three people exploring a rocky shoreline at low tide. The person on the left is an older man wearing a white cap, glasses, a blue shirt, and a navy vest. He is smiling and waving with his right hand while holding a white plastic bag in his left hand. He also has a blue pouch or bag slung across his body. The middle person is wearing a dark hoodie and a green cap, looking down at the ground as they walk. The person on the right is wearing a light gray hoodie, tan cap, and brown boots, holding what looks like black gloves or seaweed in their right hand. The ground is covered in wet rocks, patches of green seaweed, and shallow pools of water, with larger rocks and the ocean in the background. The overall scene appears overcast and cool.
