Default Preventing Rust

I recently got a job at the sunshine coast and I park my car about 200m or less from the beach. Now its an AU2 falcon and has no rust so far but everyone at the office has told me their cars started to rust quickly. Now its in a prime position to get sand on it and that as we are just so close. Im wondering what should I do? Not worry about it or do something. If so what should I do? Iv seen all those devices that put a current on your car to prevent rust but i mean... its going to get sand in all the little cracks what can i do?

Buy a car cover for it? Also protects the paint from the sun.

You are screwed DUffman!, no just joking. You are going to have to hose your car down everyday. I have been in the same situation where I worked next to the beach for a few years & got no rust but always hosed her down daily.
