Need some selfie tips

Still in Twillingate, we are waiting for our adventure tour to see icebergs.  We travelled up the road to Crow Head to check out the light house.  I snapped this picture with the Nikon Coolpix, not your iThing.  I would appreciate some tips to obtaining a better photo.  I just wanted to be included in the whole picture thing and this was my way of going about it.
