I like your original presentation, except for the lack of focus on the building/walls. Since they are the main areas of interest, I would like to see better sharpness. That should be an easy fix by selective sharpening without oversharpening anything else.
It sounds like you did not want to shoot at 30s but did so because of the low light. As you pointed out that can be an issue with a tripod in the sand.
I would recommend doing some experimentation using higher ISOs. There is no reason with modern cameras to be stuck at ISO 100. My simple Canon 90D or R7 do really well up to ISO 6400 and even higher when needed. If noise becomes and issue, I can clean it up and still retain sharpness and resolution, using either Canon DPP4 software or Topaz Sharpen AI. There are lots of other options that can work equally well.
