The sea being liquid is less dense than land (solid). The sea therefore heats to a greater depth, but the depth means that in summer the sea takes longer to heat up than the land. Once it is warmed up however, it retains the heat for a lot longer, and takes longer to cool down in Winter. This means the further away from the sea you are, the warmer the summers you'll have, but the cooler the winters you'll have. And by the same token as above the nearer the sea the less likely you are to be freezing in winter & baking in summer, the climate is more Equable (or moderate). The winds from the sea are what actually makes the climate this way as the winds take their temperature from the sea. eg. Cold sea = cold winds and hot sea = hot winds.

The sea can also affect rainfall in an area as the winds move in and become drier as they go. The further inland the place is the drier the climate because the wind brings moisture but the moisture dries as the winds travel further inland.
