Seaside set

For my seaside photos i think i want to make them as minimalistic as possible, i want to make them like this as the seaside for me, i think as being a place of thought, somewhere that i go for time to think, so my view on southsea coast has always been very pieceful. So i want to make my images for seaside as calm as possible, i feel that using long shutter speed on the water will create a smooth, velvety effect to portray calmness.
