Add to that the side low angle side lighting coming from the North, plus low tide, and some tide pools, we get some nice elements.

The problem is to get up at 5 am:) As for people walking the dogs, they make for interesting subjects, but during the summer season, they are not allowed to be there... dog poo and such...

Better than staying up!

Both are nice and I agree with the others that then second is the better of the 2 but not by much.
