Some are near the sea. In the UK they all are, because we don't have large enough lakes and rivers for cooling. whilst the sea is there as a good cold sink and transmission lines are not very long to get to load centres. In the US it is different, many stations are inland because the country is so much bigger, and there are sources of cooling water inland.
