The fishermen had gone home and even yhe chance beachcombers would have considered the day at an end.
What does the 2nd part of this line mean?
This is from class 12 The Enemy pg 27

Dear student,

The line expresses that the beach was deserted. As it was the end of the day, the fishermen as well as beachcombers (people who walk along a beach looking for valuable or interesting items) had left the area.
