Map layout help!

[TSquared]

Today I've finally decided to bite the bullet and start up a new alt town! My previous towns have all been created sort of willy-nilly, so this time I'm trying to build more mindfully. Things that I'd prefer, for functional/aesthetic reasons:

• private beach
• minimal ponds
• nice open spaces
• potential for villager "street"

I've been resetting for a while now and came across these two layouts, which seem workable. The problem is, I can't decide which one will be better in the long run (or if I should pass on both and just keep trying for something else). Thoughts? Here are the layouts for reference:

Thanks in advance!
