Live oak is great looking, longevity. However like many trees, they can obscure view. Palm trees can be also good, and don’t reduce the scenic views as much. If trees are desired, select from the native coastal trees common to your area, as well as specific coastal habitat. Plants like salt marsh and sea oats can be helpful, depending on whether along coastal marsh or streams, or sand dunes.
Well,
Also, most trees live in estuarine environment, like mangrove etc.
Sincerely
PLEASE you can have a look

Coastal erosion occurs when the waves that lap at the coast slowly wear away atthe shoreline. As these waves wash over the shore, they carry sand and sediment with them and redistribute it to the ocean floor or to other areas. Erosion can be worsened by factors such as high winds, wave currents, and tidal currents
Some of the recommended trees for reduction in coastal shore erosion are the mangroves, casuarina and coconut.
Pandanus canaranus (Screw pine ) is good. Found throughout peninsular India. It can resist ocean waves also. It is economically important for its fibers
Cultivation of mangrove trees is good solution to protect sea shore from erosion. The dense roots of mangroves help to bind and build soils. The above-ground roots slow down water flows, encourage deposition of sediments and reduce erosion.
