Salt water spray can get blown in land during storms, which is why certain plants do not grow well near coasts.

The air cannot hold salt; it doesn't evaporate but on a windy day, the spray from the waves will have salt in it.

No the "air" does not contain salt. Though the droplets of water, (mist) contain dissolved salt. Though in small ammounts, the water hits or nose or mouth and then we can sense it.
