Seaside shrub

Yesterday, we took the grandson to Blackpool Sands and on the way from
the car park, walking towards the café area, there was a very attractive
silvery grey shrub. It was about 4' tall, not flowering and the foliage
was quite 'soft', not in a new growth way but more as if that was its
habit. I'd say the leaves were probably about Fuchsia size but the
colour was distinctly silver-grey. Ray feels he's seen it before but
can't bring its name to the surface. It's obviously salt tolerant but
may be tender away from the seaside. Would anyone have any ideas from
this descriptioon?
Lycium? Elaeagnos?
