Because the relative humidity near a large body of water is very high as compared to inland. This means that the air is full of water and the sweat can not evaporate off your skin very easily.

Therefore you are sweating just as much as you do inland but the sweat does not dry (and cool you) so you notice it more and feel hot and sticky by the sea.
