Hopping back in, someone noted above about a knowledge of tides. While many killers use water as a disposal method, we can assume that where the bodies washed up was noted by the killer and how the previous cases were ruled. This would embolden the killer and bolster his warped sense that no one can catch him. Still wondering if he is related to the marine industry in some way as that would dovetail with a knowledge of tides in the area.
Is there any large commercial shipping in the area? Seasonal tugboat operation? Supply boats or ships that operate on a set schedule?
Such an act would need to be performed in a spot the killer felt safe would not be discovered, yet would provide a quick exit once he had secured his prey. I am guessing a quick grab off the trail using a handgun and verbal threat to keep quiet, into the wooded area and down to the water by at least three egress points I can see from the outstanding google map view posted.
Edited to add: Drowning by holding their head under the water "could" leave a lot less obvious trauma marks than other methods, and no obvious signs as strangulation by hand or ligature, gunshot or stabbing.
