That region is most likely cooler than the interior in the Summer, and warmer than the
interior in the Winter. Locations near the coast may very well have the same average
temperature as inland locations have, but their extremes are less extreme.
The whole thing is also complicated by the fact that inland locations are likely to be at
higher elevations than the ocean coast is, which also has an effect on the climate.
It all comes down to the fact that water has a higher specific heat capacity than rock or soil. Also movement in the water mixes, and transfers heat collected at the surface to other locations.
What all this means is - that in the summer the land soaks up a lot of solar energy, which in turns raises the surface temperature, to a higher level than happens in the sea. Coastal locations near the sea generally have a more moderate climate (warmer winters - cooler than summers) than areas inland.

Not necessarily. Being near the ocean greatly moderates the temperatures. Locations inland have hotter summers and colder winters.
For example, I live in central California, near Sacramento. Our winter temperatures are often down in the 30s and 40s, with overnight lows in the high 20's. (All in Fahrenheit). The city of San Francisco, only 90 miles away, rarely sees lows below 50.
Our daytime temps are often in the 90's and low 100s, and 107 to 110 aren't records. San Francisco ... Well, let's just quote Mark Twain, who wrote that the coldest winter he ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.
Very broadly, regions near the ocean tend to have less extreme climates than those in the centre of continents, that is the oceanic ones are warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
The coastal regions is milder than inland regions.
No i don't think so for the summer because the suns beam just reflects off of the water. But going into the water will help in the summer NOT IN THE WINTER :)

Every day the land heats much faster than the sea, and every night the land cools faster. When the land heats up, the air above it heats up as well. On the other hand, the ocean heats up and cools down relatively slowly. Therefore, areas near the ocean generally stay cooler during the day and have a more moderate temperature range than inland areas.
ocean currents
Yes the proximity of the Ocean, which changes temperature very little (as compared to land) between summer and winter, means that the air coming off the ocean remains at a lower temperature than inland air during the summer and warmer than inland air during the winter.
A location is just an area. Inland means away from the ocean and coastal means near the ocean.

Compared to regions inland with the same latitude, regions near the ocean are oftencooler in the Summer, and warmer in the Winter. This "moderating" of the climate alongand near the coast is due to the ocean's ability to store and release great amounts of heat.

the weather is usually cooler near the coast because of the ocean. the ocean air is cooler than farther inland.
Assuming that two cities are at the same latitude, the coast would probably have the milder climate. Brazil has the largest land area in South America.

Places near the sea or ocean are ussually cooler than places further inland.
There is a cold ocean current off the US west coast, which creates a cooler climate.

The ocean. Hurricanes do not last long if the move over land or into a cold environment.
