Mark Oomkes is an unknown quantity at this point
Vinca won't handle the salt, either.

Same problem with bearberry here as well. I've seen it growing gangbusters in the sand in the middle of a drought on Mackinac Island, though.

I can't vouch for this specific variety, but what about Euonymous fortunei 'Kewensis. It's a small leaved variety of purple leaf wintercreeper. Evergreen and I know 'Coloratus' is extremely salt tolerant. Might not be available by you Doug, not sure.
