No, a sea breeze won't give you a tan. Tanning is a natural response to UV light hitting your skin. Your body produces melanin to protect itself from the harmful radiation.
However, being in or near water can help you tan faster because the water's surface reflects sunlight. This reflection amplifies the UV radiation from the sun, which leads to more efficient tanning. For example, floating on top of a pool or ocean can help you tan faster.
