In the foreground, people crowd the beach on the north side of Silver Spray Pleasure Pier in Long Beach. Children on the beach carry or fly kites. From the middle of the crowd, a kite with a long tail sails over the beach at center. Across the kite, text reads, "LONG BEACH." The crowd extends back towards the pier, which stretches across the background. Along the side of the pier, a sign reads, "SILVER SP[...] PLEASURE PIER." A roller coaster sits behind it on the pier. About a couple dozen kites are visible sailing through the sky in the distance.
