As a previous article mentioned, there are numerous emergency
landing strips available.  If I recall, in addition to those
right around The Cape, White Sands can be used, and there is a
runway at Honolulu Int'l built specifically for use by the
Shuttle in an emergency (I think it's 8R/26L, the "Coral
Runway").  I also suspect that, if a real emergency cropped up,
most any ol' 'port ina storm would suffice (i.e. ~10000' runway
with few obstructions around).
