The camera looks north along a debris-covered Newport Beach. Driftwood and wreckage line the lower right edge in the foreground. At left and nearer to the water, more debris lines the beach as it stretches back towards center. In the distance at center, the remains of Bill's Barge sits aground at the water's edge. Waves approach the shore from the left. Houses are visible lining the beach in the far distance at right. Also in the far distance, a pier extends into the water at center.
