sea spray
Salty coastal mist
Sea spray is the mist of saltwater droplets thrown into the air when waves break or crash against surfaces.
It carries salt that corrodes metal and coats windows near the coast.
The term evokes coastal atmospheres: the smell of sea spray, sea spray stinging our faces as the boat cut through the waves.
