Discarded wood is scattered in the sand in front of a large, dark building on the right while machines stand on what appear to be docks that extend to the left. Photoprint reads "Efforts to protect and build up the coasts occasionally take the form of bulkheads. Here, one is seen breaking the force of the Pacific at Seal Beach, near Los Angeles, California".

Three men work at the end of the appendage where three slaps of concrete are leaned against each other forming the beginnings of a beach groin. A fourth man can be seen on the right kneeling above the crater with trees standing in the background. Photoprint reads "With the aid of a mechanical shovel, engineers set huge blocks of concrete in a southern California beach. Thousands of such blocks make up the groins which build up the nation's beaches".
