pittsburgh is considerably further from an ocean beach, though it is only 2 hours to presque isle state park's beaches on lake erie
however, all of them are long enough from the ocean that the average person ain't day-tripping to an ocean beach from any of them.
to me, a place isn't truly "coastal" if you can't wake up on a random summer saturday and say "hey, it's gorgeous out today, let's go to the beach!"

Seriously??? What difference does it make how close to a beach a city is???
Per that logic someone from Seattle is "definitely from the West Coast", someone from Bend, OR, "might be from the West Coast" (short drive to the beach!), yet someone from Spokane, WA, is "definitely NOT from the West Coast".
Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds??
