make the decision to go shooting 10minutes before sunset, grab your camera and tripod, finish brew, drive like a madman down country lanes to the beach, jump out of your car, and start shooting............ for 1 minute before the sun disappears, and your trip is wasted!

where did you meter from? looks like it metered for the sun causing the foreground to be dark.
You're lucky to have somewhere nearby with a view like that.

I like that one, very nice.
Natural colour, or spruced up a bit?
