A work colleague once mentioned that an electrician friend of his working on the Sunshine Coast (Qld) told him that in properties within 5kms of the coast line, he has seen evidence of accelerated corrosion due to the salt laden air.

We just got back from a week on Moreton Island and some of the exposed metal fittings (non S/S) around the resort showed evidence of rust due to the harsh conditions. A tourist there who lives right on the front said that their fridge and washing machine panels began to rust in less than 3 years and that they have to clean their windows daily due to the salt deposits.

Cheers
