While I'm sure there are some on this board who have fished the coast, I recommend also asking that question on http://outerbanksflyfishing.com/forum/ as well. These guys fish nothing but salt most of the year. With that said, I use an intermediate line...its a slow sinker but it gives me some versatility without having to buy three different lines for the kind of fishing I only get to do for one week a year. I bought an Orvis clear intermediate for half price about a year ago. I also have a floating for that rod but I haven't used it at the beach. It will also make a difference if you are fishing from a boat, jetty or beach, what you will want. I think sandfly does some fishing in new jersey so you'll probably be hearing from him soon. Good luck its a blast...

I use the RIO VERSI-TIP on the same rod you are getting.

This line has 15' interchangable heads - floating, intermediate & 3 wts of sinking heads. It was recommended to me by Mr. Clouser and it has worked great. It was approx $125, but that is for the same fishing capabilites a 5 lines. The purchase of a good floater & intermediate will cost you that much. There is no purchasing or carrying of extrea spools just the wallet that comes with the line to carry the extra tips.

I have used this line in all seasons in both salt and fresh(muskies) and it has been an adimirable performer.

A intermidiate and a 24' quik sink tip...is all you need normally....after some time you might want to go with a shooting head or 2...I make my own lines for the salt..120ft.running with different heads attached....check www.aswf.org they can help you..
