It is a well known fact that the ocean modifies the climate favorably so as to keep the ambient temperature warmer than it usually is inland away from the ocean so that is why the nightime drop in temperature will be less near the sea than inland.

Answer from: bananaslada

The temperature drops in the towns nearby the seaside is less as compared to the towns that are away from seaside because the water has high heat capacity as compared to land and it compensates the heat in the nearby areas to keep them warm.

Further Explanation:

During the day time, the water as well as the land is heated by the light coming from the sun. The almost equal amount of energy is received by water as well as the land. But the heat capacity of the water is more than the heat capacity of water and due to this water can retain more heat as compared to that of the land.

At night, when the temperature of the air above the surface decreases, the area away from the sea side uses the heat retained by the land to compensate the temperature drop but the amount of heat is very less.

Therefore, the drop in temperature in the area away from the seaside is comparatively higher.

I the areas near the seaside, the cold air above the land absorbs heat from the water which has higher amount of heat and the temperature drop of the air is compensated significantly. This leads to a very slight difference in the night temperature as compared to the day temperature in the towns near seaside.

Thus, the temperature drops in the towns nearby the seaside is less as compared to the towns that are away from seaside because the water has high heat capacity as compared to land and it compensates the heat in the nearby areas to keep them warm.
