coastal plants
Seaside flora species
Plants adapted to grow along shorelines, where they tolerate salt spray, sandy or rocky soil, wind exposure, and periodic flooding.
Coastal plants include dune grasses that stabilize beaches, salt marsh species like cordgrass, and mangroves in tropical regions.
Many have specialized features—waxy leaves, deep roots, or salt-excreting glands—that help them thrive where other vegetation cannot.
