About Coastal Plant Identifier

Dunes, cliffs, salt marshes and beachfront gardens grow plants built for salt spray and sandy soil. Our coastal plant identifier names what you photograph on the shore, including sea oats, beach grass, sea rocket, beach rose, sea lavender, saltwort and sea holly. It is useful on vacation walks and for anyone planting a garden near the ocean.

How It Works

Photograph the plant with some of its surroundings (sand, rocks or marsh), then take close-ups of the leaves, which are often fleshy or silvery on coastal species, and any flowers or seed heads. The result names the species, explains its salt tolerance and notes if it is protected on dunes.

Key Benefits

  • Identifies dune-stabilizing grasses like sea oats and American beach grass
  • Suggests salt-tolerant plants for seaside gardens based on what thrives locally
  • Flags coastal invasives such as ice plant in California
  • Separates beach rose (Rosa rugosa) from other wild roses
  • Free to try once a day directly from the beach on your phone

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about coastal plant identifier

Take a photo of the plant in its setting plus close-ups of leaves and flowers, then upload; the AI names the species and its salt tolerance.

Dune grasses hold the sand in place with their roots, and trampling them speeds up erosion; many areas protect them by law.

Rosa rugosa hips are traditionally used in jams and teas once seeds and hairs are removed, but confirm identification with a reliable source before eating anything wild.

Highway ice plant (Carpobrotus edulis) spreads aggressively along the California coast and crowds out native dune plants.

Features such as fleshy leaves, waxy or hairy coatings and salt-excreting glands help coastal plants survive spray and salty soil.
