Well you have the right country But you have the wrong city
Hint 1 - What the girl in the statue is doing is illegal... She is what would be called a Mudlark Here are a couple modern day Mudlarks... and it is still illegal

I'm thinking London. People search the mud along the Thames at low tide for whatever goodies of value that they can find. Got that little tidbit of info while visiting there.

One of the subtle hints were the Sea Gulls sitting on the roof of the building. This town is on the sea. (albeit I have no idea if there are are there are not sea gulls in London - lots of pigeons not sure on sea gulls)
Hint 2: While admiring the statue one turns arounds and looks up. Here is what one would sea

So many towns and cities near the coast in England - I'll just toss out Plymouth? However, I'm more curious why it would be illegal to wander off to the mud flats in low tide? What's wrong with that?

Isn't that ship located in, or near Greenwich? If I recall correctly it's the Cutty Sark. Been a while since we were there.
No Fran, it's HMS Victory, Nelson's flagship, in Portsmouth. Cutty Sark is a merchant ship (Tea Clipper). Tom's earlier photo is a building called The Spinnaker, also in Portsmouth.
Mike is correct - Portsmouth is the home of the statue. If you are interested in Naval History put this city on your list. Lots to do and day trip over to Isle of Wight is a must.
As for the Mudlarking here is the rest of the story
Mike is up!

Not on St. Vincent. Here's another picture, taken from the same location but pointed at my beer The smiling bloke is a fellow sailor with a Jeanneau 49DS.
The next picture will absolutely, positively and unequivocally give it away.

No - not the Dominican Republic; I just alternate between one season of Caribe and one season of Presidente while in the Caribbean. I just wish this pub had had DR prices

On St Barths? Not me, as I really don't know it at all. Actually only been to St. Barths twice, quite a while ago. Hopefully someone else can guess the actual beach. I don't have a picture anyway.

St. Barths is a small island I once paid for some espresso and croissants at a cafe across from the "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and wondered if I'd need to put a mortgage on my boat...

Only beach I know of on St Barts is St Jean and that's only because I watch the airport webcam there. Since that doesn't describe what the beach is made of I know it's not the one.
