"我们的酒店在海边。"

Translation: Our hotel is by the sea.

[Will257059]

"Our hotel is at the seaside" should be accepted.

I wrote that and it was accepted.

According to Wiktionary at https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%B5%B7%E9%82%8A#Chinese, "海邊" means "seaside, beach", so this sentence is literally "Our hotel is at the [beach/seaside]".

Given that, it seems reasonable to accept "Our hotel is [near/on] the beach." Both are rejected.

海边 doesn't necessarily mean a beach - it's much broader.

[johnsark]

Yes, but beach should be accepted as an answer too!

[Jacques439990]

海边 means a beach or a seaside/seashore... Therefore those who choose either must be counted as correct answers. There is nothing else to it.

[RobMac]

"Our hotel is on the seaside." is currently not accepted but it should be.

[Imnuts7]

Beach is 海滩，海边 just means the seaside.

Why BY and not NEAR?
