In Hungarian "tenger" and "óceán" are really different in usage. "Tenger" is a kind of so-called inside-a-continent water I mean it is partly or fully enclosed by land. For example Adriatic sea, Black sea, Caribbean sea, Chinese sea and so on. An ocean ("óceán") is between continents, its area is some ten millions square kilometres and its average depth is some thousand meters and also it has an own flow system like the Gulf Stream in case of the Atlantic Ocean. We know only five oceans like the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Southern (Antarctic) and the Arctic Oceans. As far as I know the word "sea" is often used interchangeably with "ocean" in American English.
What is wrong in writing the seas by the cities are warm.Is there a real difference between by and beside,Is the differnce sooooo big that makes my answer wrong
