Sunlit Café Overlooking Saint-Palais Beach

An incredibly serene, photorealistic view from a cozy cafe terrace in Saint-Palais-sur-Mer, France. Late afternoon golden-hour light bathes a small round table with a coffee cup, a flaky croissant, and a glass of orange juice on a checkered tablecloth. Striped awnings flutter gently as a light sea breeze carries the scent of salt. Beyond the terrace, a long sandy beach fades into the calm Atlantic Ocean under a sky painted in pink, orange, and lavender. Pine trees line the dunes along the promenade; pastel houses dot the distance; a few distant sailboats drift on the horizon while seagulls wheel overhead. The scene blends French coastal charm with warm, inviting realism and soft painterly texture.
