This number of points is reached by the curve
x^4+y^4+z^4+2*(3*x^2*y^2+4*y^2*z^2+4*x^2*z^2)=0 (see J-P. Serre, Rational points on curves over finite fields, Lectures given at Harvard University, 1985. Notes by F. Q. Gouvêa, p.64-68).

Its Weil polynomial is (X^2+4*X+11)*(X^2+6*X+11)^2.

Its automorphism group (over F_11 and geometric) is Z/2*Z/2.

This is the so-called Voloch's bound "2q+6" for genus 3 curves (q <> 8 and 9). See loc. cit. Proposition 3.1 and also "Curves of genus 3 over small finite fields" by J. Top Prop.2.1 item b)
