From St. Louis, the ocean can be reached by air, or steamboat, or a log raft if your budget is really low.

Florida, Missouri, that is-- and you forgot to mention that an ocean can also be reached from St. Louis by bus, car, or train in at least 3 directions!
I wish we could have the Los Angeles Regional at the Long Beach sports arena--it's close to the water (port of Long Beach) and the weather is usually decent, when it's not outright wonderful.
