enjoy the sun and the sea
the collocation is usually SUN and then SEA in English and not the other way round. I would use THE sun and THE sea especially if ... indicates that something else follows.

the sea and the sun
Hi Laura, as a native English speaker, this sounds most correct to me for a title. I would use "sea and sun" only if they were being qualified further.

I would expect to see either, that is, the sun and the sea OR the sea and the sun (though I personally prefer the sea and the sun).
