This point is called Point Nemo and here is my copy-paste answer that I yanked off the net:

The geographic coordinates of the Point Nemo are:
s48:52:31.748 w123:23:33.069
This point is exactly 2 688 220.580 meters (slightly more than 1 450 nautical miles) away from the following three coastline points:
s27:12:29.304, w109:27:33.120 Ducie Island (Pitcairn Island Group, South Pacific)
s24:40:39.360, w124:47:25.872 Motu Nui / Rapa Nui ("Easter Island", South Pacific)
s72:57:57.024, w126:22:30.793 Maher Island / Siple Island (Antarctica)"

From Wikipedia:
"The Eurasian pole of inaccessibility, the point on land farthest from any ocean, is located approximately 320 km (200 mi) from the city of Urumqi, in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region of China, at 46°16.8′N, 86°40.2′E (in the Dzoosotoyn Elisen Desert). This position is at a distance of approximately 2648 km (1645 mi) from the nearest coastline."

Answer 2

Have you been doing research? I would think
the South Pacific is a pretty fur piece from any
land. The town of Byisk in the Soviet Union is
a pretty fur piece from any ocean or sea.
[I don't consider the Aral a sea].
