What plants survive salt spray at the Jersey Shore?

Coastal & Shore Landscaping questions
Why do my arborvitae keep browning at the shore?
Salt spray, wind and deer all hit arborvitae hard. Eastern red cedar, inkberry, bayberry or a mixed screen usually holds up better near the ocean.
Do hydrangeas grow in Spring Lake and Sea Girt?
Yes, they're the signature shore shrub, but they do best on the sheltered side of the house with steady water.
What about flood-prone riverfront lots?
Use plants that tolerate occasional salt water, raise key beds, and keep heavy features out of the lowest areas.
