Disastrous? That is a mighty strong word. But it may well apply. Salt is a mighty corrosive. It is also a nasty little grinder. Washing salt off every night will grind away coatings no matter how carefully it is done.

Observing at the beach will not 'instantly' destroy your scope but over time it will shorten its life and degrade the quality of your observing.
