Thanks for the interest and comments. As it happens, you are both right! Most of the water you can see is seawater, draining down as the tide falls. (Our tides are up to 8 m, so it's a lot of water.) On the left, in the middle to far distance, however, you can (if you know where it is) just make out the mouth of Sandy Creek; a small perennial stream. (For the geographically interested, there is a link to a google earth location file at the bottom of the page.) During the wet season, after rain, there is a considerable flow down there. In fact, occasionally enough to create quick-sand, which was a bit scary the first time I stepped in it. Thanks for looking!
