Looks like you have some great places and scenes to work with.
Big fan in particularly of the third shot, just works for me...

Ensure your rule of thirds, frame the shot, then work your focus.
Also make sure that with landscape photography you don't get carried away with the amount that you are trying to capture, Shooting on the coast would probably merit getting a UV filter or some such, just so that your landscape shots (which will really need a sharp focus on the rule of thirds, cause it becomes very obvious) are coming in less cloudy, can be fixed in editing, but if you can rock it in one, makes it a better photo.

Watch your ISO levels when shooting in sun, it can really bounce your exposure up.


Other then critique, the things your shooting are great, your picking good subjects and that is the key I believe when starting out in photography. Your skills will build from here out, but some people can never find the right thing to shoot at. Don't worry about your angles, the more research you do etc you will find them.

Hope I'm of some help!
Keep getting out there!
