Normally it doesn't - or rather the amount of salt is so low that it is considered salt free ... that is : fresh water.

However. Near the edge of the ocean there is often a "sea-breeze" , a wind coming in from the sea, and it carries with it a small but NOT negligible amount of sea water. IF it is raining at the time, then the rain water can be quite salty.

This effect is most noticeable near any beach, say within a quarter mile. Note the amount of rust on any car parked within this limit.
