Somebody raised this recently, meant to respond but forgot and now I
can't remember who it was.

We don't have to contend with waves/high tides flooding the garden
soil, but do get regular doses of salt blown onto plants (and windows)
in wind or rain.

My "salt resistant" list includes fatsia japonica, crinodendron
hookerianum, griselinia, escallonia, berberis, pampas, many iris,
phormiums, ivy, yucca, osmanthus, hebes, azalea and rhododendron,
trachycarpus, rosemary, leptospermum, ozothamnus, opiophogon,
agapanthus, grasses, hostas, corokia virgata, coprosma, euphorbias,
fennel, tansy, libertia, hardy fuchsias, and that angels fishing rod
thing whose name escapes me. Hard/waxy/shiny/narrow leaves let
salt-laden rain run straight off.

Soft hairy leaves like culinary sage and senecio greyii seem more
vulnerable to damage, and my sempervivums with cupped basal rosettes of
leaves are doing very badly.

and that angels fishing rod thing whose name escapes me. - dierama ?

Maybe Tamarisk too and some lavetarias.

If you can take a walk around the area you live in and see what's thriving
in other peoples gardens too.
