Can We Feel Sea Breeze in The Night?

Each object has a different characteristics to absorb heat.
In this case, let say, land and water are 2 different things, each has their own ability to absorb heat.
During daytime the land is hotter than the water.
Since the hotter air (from the land) always rises up, it means the cool air (from the water) will move to replace the rising air.
It means we will feel the sea breeze during the daytime.
In the night, the water is warmer than the land, so the hot air (from the water) will rise and be replaced by the cool air from the land.
That's why land breeze occurs in the night.
If there was much heat at night, will sea breeze occur?
