Many brown sea lions are lying and resting on multiple wooden docks in the foreground and middle ground of the image, some are piled on top of each other, while others are more spread out across the wooden planks. The docks are made of wooden planks and are arranged as separate platforms connected by chains in the water, with some docks appearing more elevated than others. Some seagulls are also present on the docks, standing among or near the sea lions. The water is greenish-blue and surrounds the docks, reflecting some light. In the background, a city skyline is visible with various buildings, including tall buildings and some with white facades, spread across a hill. An arch-shaped white structure is also visible among the buildings. The sky is cloudy and white, with patches of blue sky visible. A sign is present on a wooden post among the sea lions, with legible text that reads "PLEASE DON'T FEED OR HARASS OUR SEA LION FRIENDS" in larger letters, and below that in smaller letters "ZONE 39". A wooden walkway with railings is visible in the middle ground behind the docks, connecting to the land and buildings in the background.
