Well given you have waves the water's edge should be wet and the rock 
glossy at that point. The rest of the rocks are cleaner than is natural. 
One would expect bits of sea/water weed and other signs of aquatic life. 
There should be weathering and lichen growth on the rocks with the 
type/color changing according to the height on the rocks etc.

Have a look at the rocks in some of the pics here (page 2 is better)
