Well as you would guess, you would need salty ocean water to begin with. To isolate for the salt itself, you simply would evaporate off all the water and you would be left with what is called sea salt.

There are Salt Pans, made by mud bunds, on the sea shores. Sea water is allowed to enter in these salt pans during flood tide. Due to evaporation, the water in the shallow pans dries away, making the water more and more concentrated with salt. When enough salt concentration is achieved, water is not allowed to enter in the pan and is let to dry fully. This leaves the pans filled with crystals of salt. This method is used in the countries like India, where a lot of sun shine is available for most of the year.
