Vigna marina, commonly known as beach pea or nanea, is a trailing or twining herbaceous vine native to tropical and subtropical coastlines throughout the Indo-Pacific and Caribbean regions. It sprawls across sandy beaches and coastal dunes, bearing yellow flowers and small flat pods adapted to salt spray and sandy soils. Its seeds are buoyant and dispersed by ocean currents, enabling its widespread pantropical distribution.
