Why land on the water and risk bacteria, alien fish, etc? Also, looks like the lander was moved too.
It's a nice flat area with very little vegetation situated in a otherwise densely forested and mountainous area. The water spray would also help cool the hull of the lander after the atmospheric re-entry.
That was actually shot at Millford Sound's airport. The runway would be just behind where the camera is on the 4th picture.

2000 colonists in cryo and equipment to start a colony further out than anyone else. Gonna need a lot of room for kit!
They need a big ship because they need a lot of equipment.
