vitis vinifera is grown almost to the sand dunes in the west coast of galicia.

Subject: Climbers for beachfront gardens?

I'm having problems establishing climbers at a beachfront hotel garden in Algarve, Portugal.  I've tried Bougainvillea and Solandra - they don't make it.  Its not that the beach is violently stormy more a question of salty breezes I think.  Other plants that thrive here include Euryops chrysanthemoides Ficus rubiginosa and Cordyline australis.  Any suggestions greatfully received.
