Interesting, thanks !
The main difference between the two is time (35 minutes), sunlight, and a few paces closer to the chairs, but same zoom.

I like the first for the extra chairs by the groyne, as if they're being watched by the two foreground chairs, and the way the groyne leads your eyes into the sea, and the clouds.

I like the second for the better light, the people in the sea, and the appearance of the chairs standing in line with the edge of the surf, with the more subtle line of the groyne - though it may not lead far enough.

Seems you want both
Better light, better clouds, long leading line, and the people.
Photoshop then ?
