Yes we are somewhere on the French island of La Réunion, Réunion was one of the islands visited in the Grand Tour episode "A Massive Hunt"
Finding the club should be easy now...

Thanks. You really had me on the wrong track with your "massive" clue. My mistake. Thanks also for another puzzle about a part of the world about which I knew absolutely nothing. Who knew that La Réunion had all those impressive road bridges and tunnels?

The new road that features in the trailer is being built because rock falls are increasing on the old road that runs alongside the cliffs between the islands two largest towns.

Easy one for me that, But I will leave it for someone else to have a go, only adding the clue that the blurry sign on the building above the motorboat reads "The Kings Arms"

Yeah, this one will probably be solved by someone with local knowledge rather than by a googler. Bonus points for anyone who can figure out which Aero rig this sailor is using.

It seems that there are 8,923 Kings Arms pubs/restaurants/hotels in England. The rough water would seem to indicate enough fetch that a river town would not be it.

Not a river, you say. It is often referred to as an estuary. But technically it is a drowned valley.

That would make it Salcombe, in the Knightsbridge Estuary. The gabled building with the balcony overlooking the harbor houses the Whitestrand Boat Hire and Bojangles stores. I have no idea what rigs Aeros might have.

Worked there for 1 year whist they were building the Route du Littoral.
Absolutely amazing place.

I think this is correct - although I wouldn't have been able to figure it out from the photo. I found the photo on a Facebook post about the testing and subsequent adoption of the RS Aero 6 rig which had a whole slew of shots of the Aero 6.

OK. I will definitely need to go out sailing some more with a camera for some new photos. I do have this one, however:

Not Long Island Sound. They do not have buoys (or stakes) like that on LIS.
