For what it's worth, I like number 3 best. This is because of the shoreline not being exactly parallel in the frame, which adds some extra interest.
I'm not keen on the black and white - I think it needs a glowering moody sky rather than a bright sunrise.
I think the shots could possibly have been improved with a lower point of view, using the pebbles as foreground interest.
My take on the same thing here.

very nice, my only suggestion for a mod would be to invert the pic so that it reads from left to right 
Hi Barney,
I am one of the few who've never seen this place, and it looks interesting.
V1 is the better format with the tree on the left; you have corrected the distortion well and the horizon is straight.
A couple more suggestions, - try to place the horizon a third the way from the top, or from the bottom in a landscape shot; as the tree is a focal point, crop this shot by removing space from the right to place the tree on a vertical third for better composition.
Ive done this is mod1, and a monotone can works as in mod2, but it needs to be contrasty. The mod is a duo tone, using a warm grey, and Ive emulated a red filter to brighten the sky.
Be careful of the tendency to over saturate sunsets, - it can cause the colours, especially reds to bleed, and the result is a loss of sharpness.
I hope you find this constructive, - and if your fiance likes the mono mod, then you can get married asap!
regards
Willie

Thanks guys and sorry for not replying sooner - internet has been out of action for a few days.
Willie, I kind of rushed the monotone just to see how it came out. I will have a serious play with B&W at some point and look more into it.
I have another one to post from Benacre shortly.
Cheers,
Barney
