Default Best Seaside Stargazing?

What would your nominations be for the best skies in the US with proximity
to a beach? I'm getting so sick of the big city...

Molokai, Hawaii has some of the darkest skies in close proximity to a
beach... not to mention you can observe the Geminids in T-shirt and shorts.

Best beaches in the world (literally)...nice climate...and some of the darkest
skies east of the mississipi a one to 2 hour drive away....

The Marshall Islands Kwajalein atoll, the absolutely brightest most

need to be a gov't employee to enjoy it.
