×We went to the seaside for swimming.
✓We went to the seaside to swim. / We went to the seaside for a swim.
使用 'for swimming' 聽起來不自然。'for' 通常用於表示目的的名詞（如 for a swim），而動詞不定詞 'to swim' 更常用於表達去海邊的活動目的。
×I live in the seaside.
✓I live by the seaside. / I live at the seaside.
表示住在海邊附近時，通常使用介系詞 'by' 或 'at'。'in' 用於較具體、有明確範圍的地點（如城市、國家），而海邊是一個區域概念。
×We enjoyed the seaside airs.
✓We enjoyed the seaside air.
'Air'（空氣）在此為不可數名詞，指海邊的整體空氣或氛圍，不應使用複數形 'airs'。'Airs' 通常指做作的姿態（如 put on airs）。
×Let's go to seaside tomorrow.
✓Let's go to the seaside tomorrow.
'Seaside' 作為一個泛指的海濱地區時，通常需要定冠詞 'the'，類似 'the countryside'、'the beach' 的用法。

除了需要定冠詞 'the' 之外，'holiday' 在此作為可數名詞，指一次假期，通常需要冠詞（如 a holiday）或使用複數形（holidays）。
