There are tiny US islands in the Pacific and they lie right on the equator:
Howland and Baker...Actually, they're not US territories anymore.

Brazil has the Amazone mouth right on the equator and just like Kourou, a rocket can go from 0 degrees to 95 degrees without harming land.

The best might be the Offshore launch platform, though.
