In The Adventures of Tom Bombadil I don't think the sea brings us any closer to heaven. "Fasticocalon" has monster in the sea. "The Last Ship" suggests the song and attraction of the sea has long faded. And "The Sea Bell" is a very complex poem with a unique vision of the sea.
But these I suppose are outside the Legendarium--or so it can be argued.
