Yeah that is a good question... I'm not English but I feel that the difference is just about how far the two places / points are from each other... For example if you live near the sea, it can be 1 or 2 kilometres away. If you live close to the sea, that can mean 200 metres away. And by the sea would definitively mean that you live just in front of it, like you could see the beach from your window ! Tell me if I'm wrong ! Because I've always imagine it like that...
