Nicely framed with good lead in lines.
It could do with some colour boost though,and...is your horizon straight?

Yes the horizon is straight. I looked at that too. To the left of the lighthouse, are trees. I think that's why it looked off.

Thank you for looking and the comments!

Your horizon is 0.5 degrees out.
Lovely composition, with the rocks providing an excellent lead in, a slight tweak in saturation (and the horizon straightened), then it will work.

So you are saying I should adjust the horizon to include the trees and not just the ocean? That will make the horizon off......

I like your composition - the rock wall leads you into the image and to the lighthouse.

No, look at the attached screengrab, I scrolled the image so is rested against my IE toolbar, you can see a significant slant down to the right.

Correct. But the left side of the pis has treet. They were and are higher than just the water, which is level. Are you saying I should adjust for the trees too?
