Possibly Zoysia macrantha, though grasses are not my greatest area of expertise

Or Sporobolus virginicus? I'm not particularly good at these coastal grasses. You need to have them in your hand to get your eye in.

Agree - again not my most knowledgeable area so might be best to leave it to someone else with more expertise.

Zoysia macrantha - matgrass with short brownish-purple raceme gives it away
