Make your mounts strong but make them where you can remove the lights in case of storms. Lights are not cheap and most insurance won't cover them.
Run all the electrical in schedule 40 sealed pvc . Salt is tough on copper.

X2 on pvc, just remember to strap it with 2 hole straps with stainless hex head screws like a #8 or #10 screw, use the blue ideal wire nuts with silicone built in the already. They are one use so if you attempt to make a splice and it doesnt hold so you try again, trash that one and start with a new wire nut. You should use " No Alox" on any connection without this style wire nut, or some sort of electrical anti corrosion equivalent. Liquid electrical tape can also be your best friend in these instances.
