Walk along or walk by?

Which of the following phrases is correct: "to walk along the sea" or "to walk by the sea"?

If both are possible, do they mean the same thing?

If not, when should I use each of them?

Would you please give me a few examples?

Thank you.

"walk by the sea" is fine. "walk along the sea" doesn't seem right. You can say "walk along the seashore" or "walk along the coast", for example.
