Salty Sea air and cars
Discussion
Probably not that far. Maybe half a mile or so, depending on the prevailing wind direction; It's sea spray in the air after all.
I know before the railways made it possible to routinely move seafood products inland, some people used to suffer from goitres (swelling of the thyroid gland in the neck, usually caused by iodine deficiency) e.g. "Derbyshire neck". Not something usually suffered by people living along the coast due to the iodine salts in the sea air & the availability of seafood.

Cannot recall the firm that said it, but I was making outdoor security equipment and polyester powder coating some components or using stainless steel, dependent on customers' requirements. The material suppliers used five miles inland as their benchmark for the end of a marine environment. Obviously some parts of the coast are more severe than others so they had to state the maximum.

Have you seen the amount of salt chucked on the roads every winter, when it rains you will be traveling in a mist of salty moist water thrown up by your car and other vehicles !
Probably not a helpful answer but true
Edited to say The salinity of rainfall as a function of drop size. The abstract from the paper looks interesting
