Liquid water of any sort has a huge heat capacity relative to air; that is, it must absorb a great deal of heat to show a slight increase in temperature. As a result, changes in air temperature are very slow to impact the temperature of large bodies of water such as an ocean, or even a large lake.

What has a milder climate the ocean coast or one farther island?

I am not sure i think.... well the ocean acts as a large heat sink keeping around the same temperature. The ocean changes temperature slower than landmasses, so that influences the temperature overall slowing it down.
