Where are these unusual rock formations rising from the water?

Where are these unusual rock formations rising from the water? - Low angle of abstract textured walls and hanging LED lamps in Salina Turda salt mine in Romania

I came across a random image and saved it because of the intriguing rock formations...

enter image description here

The EXIF metadata is well populated (the photo was taken in July 2011 for example), but contains no latitude/longitude coordinates. I reversed Google searched, and then used 'tin eye'. Both of these came up empty.

I also uploaded the image to the chatroom and someone suggested that it might be around the Isle of Wight, but those formations are long and slender. The cliffs look similar to Dover's, but the colour is wrong. I think overall the foliage is wrong for the British Isles.

Notice on the right a rounded structure, possibly man-made or possibly leading to a grotto.

Question: has someone seen these rocks previously who can nail down their precise locale?
