The concept is excellent and I wouldn't change the footprint at all.

You might consider using small shells instead of rocks (or some of each).

The biggest problem with the water isn't the texture, it's the shape.  I 
would suggest a straight line or a gentle curve.  The strong 'S' shape 
you have just doesn't feel right.  To me at least.

 From the beaches I have walked on I also remember some sort of debris 
line at the most recent high water mark.  Sometimes it's just a line of 
pebbles, sometimes it contains organic matter, but the texture of the 
sand changes with each wave...  smoother where it was just covered and 
rougher above the line.

I'm babbling.  You've obviously seen beaches too :-)

Nice work overall.
