A black-and-white photograph depicting the Atlantic Ocean as seen from a beach on Jekyll Island. In the foreground is the beach, covered by the foam of a receding wave. More waves gently crest in the midground with the dark, flat expanse of the ocean extending to the horizon line. The sky above is filled with clouds, appearing brighter at the center and darkening towards the edges of the photograph. The back of the photograph is blank.
