Aguinaldo, the second one is a winner to me.  I enjoy the contrast between the geometric patterns of the shadows of the trees and the abstraction of the shapes of the clouds.

Aguinaldo,
On the first one the sky comes out too dark for me.
Beside that it's an appealing empty scene.

The second has a nice touch where the line of trees make up for subtle patterns of order.
Which gives structure to the scene captured.
The wave overlay on the trees - It's eye catching 😀

To me, both are good.  The dark clear sky contrasts well with the blinding white sand.  You are building an impressive photographic catalog of tropical light.

I prefer the first with that dark sky and bright sand.  Cool detail in the clouds on the second one - looks like an upside down rip curl.

Thank you Jakov, Elsa, Elsid and Chip.
I used the Zeiss Otus 28mm f/1.4 and the AF-S Nikkor 500mm f/4G VR II in these.
