A unit in an ocean hex can't battle, but it can be attacked, for example from the beach or by artillery. It cannot retreat, so every flag rolled against it counts as a hit, and it can't use Ambush against an attacker. A unit on a beach can close-assault an adjacent ocean hex and gets the normal Close Assault bonus.
