We used to have lot more plants in the upper cove, but they were invasive and they spayed them - did not help our erosion problem. So planting something non-native is probably a bad idea...What about some type of grass or ground vines that grow well in sand? Here's a list that may be helpful.

Good call.
Distichlis spicata (salt grass) is a native that might work. Though it could also have the effect of getting in the way of rigging and launching.

Re: 3rd upper launch Bay
These are the most grass like I can find that seem to be native and grow in salty coastline sand:
Seaside Arrow-grass
Spartina foliosa Cordgrass
Lasthenia glabrata Goldfields
Jaumea carnosa Jaumea
Juncus acutus ssp. leopoldii Spiny Rush
