First thing you wanna do is tighten these up. On pic 1 for example, I can't tell if you're trying to show me the guy or show me the ocean and the guy just happens to be in the frame. Get closer to your subjects, or if that's not possible crop the pictures much more tightly.
When taking pictures, try to get lower too. A lot of these seem like you were taking the pictures at your eye level or even holding the camera up high and aiming down. On the pic of the shrine by the palm trees, you'd get more out of it if you got up close and crouched down, you don't need to show that much ocean because any amount of ocean will tell is that it's a beachside scene, and frankly the ocean isn't that interesting.
Look up the "rule of thirds" and keep that in mind when composing your shots. I like the train tracks pic but your horizon is dead center. Would be more striking if the horizon line hit the lower third or upper third.
Keep taking pics! You'll get better and better the more you do it.
