I need to fill in prepositions:
He spent his holidays ___ a place at the sea. He was at sea for three days.
I think I figured it out with "sea" but I can't deal with "a place" here.
He spent his holidays in a place at / near / by the sea. He was at sea for three days. "At sea" is a fixed expression.
