DescriptionView of four children on a beach at what is probably Fishers Island. One boy sits on a row of large rocks in the foreground, squinting up at the camera. Behind him, two girls and a boy are crouched in a row, digging in the sand. There are large rocks behind them. The camera angle runs parallel to the beach. There is a row of houses to the left of the children, and the water is to the right.
