Yuck!
Hi, This is not a true pine but commonly called Australian pine (Casuarina equisetifolia) and is an invasive plant. Not sure you can legally plant this now.
These are Australian pines (Casuarina), an invasive exotic -- Florida is trying to eradicate them, I believe there are regulations against planting them (in fact, Palm Beach County has a requirement that they be removed from all properties) and Casuarina is not available in nurseries. It's not a real pine tree, and I don't know of a pine that will grow in Florida that could be used for your proposed purpose.
Check
Your extension service has a U of FL IFAS pamphlet on hedges and shrubs for south Florida. I also found the following comment at the Lee County extension service web site
I like the dahoon holly, but it's not a fast grower. Regards --
