Saltwater Fishing Rod/Reel

Going to be living near the coast next year for school and am looking to purchase myself a new fishing rod and reel for Christmas.
Any suggestions for a Saltwater rod and reel combo?
My fishing experience is a little better than novice and would be pier fishing as well as some offshore.
Thanks

How much do you want to spend?
I'd look at a spinning rod/reel
4000 size reel.
7-7.5ft rod.
I love my shimano stradic.

That's a pretty good budget.
I also suggest a spinning reel. There are a lot of good options. Shimano is always solid. Although 4000 is a bit big. A 3000 would be perfect or a 2500. I have caught everything from bass and speckled trout to big bull reds on these sized reels. Tie on some 30lb power pro. You can always use a Flurocarbon leader if needed.

For all around (inshore/light offshore) get you a 4000 series shimano in your budget. Personally I think the Sahara is perfect for the price. Pair it with a 7 ft medium action rod and 30lb braid.
