    salt air vs salty air

    Comment
    Yesterday, I stumbled across the saying (?) "salt air - cool breeze - adventure in my soul", and I was wondering if "salt air" is a proper English term or if it should be rather called "salty air", or if there is no such expression at all? It definetely refers to the sea air...
    Thanks!

    I am familiar with "salt air."

    Great, thanks @HappyWarrior. I guess it has rather the same meaning than 'sea air' does?

    Yes, I think so: salt air, sea air.

    I'm perhaps predisposed to saying the former, because I have spent time in Utah, where at (or near or, depending on water level, even in) the Great Salt Lake there is a historic resort called Saltair.

    PS:
    Note for future reference that it needs to be "same meaning as sea air does." (#2)

    PPS.
    I don't know, but I assume some people might also say "salty air," though it would not be my first choice.
