seaspray
Waves hitting rocks
Seaspray is the mist of saltwater droplets blown from breaking waves or surf.
It carries salt that can corrode metal and coat windows near the shore.
The word evokes coastal atmosphere: the taste of seaspray on her lips, seaspray stinging their faces as the boat cut through the waves.
Also spelled as two words: sea spray.
