Cascading plants for a retaining wall...

I'm looking for some cascading plants for a 6-7' high concrete block retaining wall which needs to be softened. The wall is approximately 120' long and climbing plants wont do since there's a beach below. The walls are facing west and get a full days sun. They'll probably get the brunt of the winter winds so Hedera helix is out since it can get necrotic. Too much sun for Vinca.

I'm looking for suggestions for plant material that can cascade down probably 4-5'. I like the look of Creeping Phlox but don't think it'll work in this application. Will Trumpetcreeper cascade or is it just a climber?

Any help is appreciated!
