The foreground of the image features a close-up of large boulders of various shades that form the structure of the Pāvilosta pier. The stones have a distinct, rough texture, and some display yellowish moss or lichen patches. The pier extends into the distance toward the right, where human figures and a small red navigation tower can be discerned on it.

On the left side, the colors of the sky reflect on the water surface, and the opposite bank with bushes is visible in the distance. The sun has already dipped below the horizon, leaving a bright, fiery orange and yellow band of light along the skyline that illuminates the edges of the clouds.

The sky above the landscape is covered with multi-layered blue and gray clouds. On the right side, small sea waves are seen washing against the stony base of the pier, creating a dynamic contrast with the massive rocks in the foreground.
