taken on Mablethorpe Beach, Lincolnshire, UK. Late Afternoon with sunlight behind. On around a stretch of 1 mile of beach, there were only around 10 people.

Nice shot. The composition is killing me though. :) I'd have cropped top & bottom for a panoramic feel. Maybe move your subjects to the right, walking towards the empty beach. As presented, the people just look lost.
This shot/scene has a lot of potential but as presented here looks a little awkward. If it were zoomed in more to make the folks a little bigger and if they were more on a third line or point instead of right in the middle this would look more natural.

I really like the minimalism of the people in this shot, they seem so small in a big world yet happy and contented in each others company, nice colours on sea and sand
The centered composition doesn't work well in this case, this is because, the sand here is not at all interesting, while the sea is. More of the sea with the subjects at the lower thirds grid would have improved the composition.
I hate to bring this up, rules are one of my pet hates, but I'd like to have seen the couple in the lower left third (rule of thirds) with the beach stretching ahead of them. In my mind this would give a sense of direction or purpose, showing the distance they will cover.
