The city by the sea is an unnamed coastal city referenced only as the destination of a Nephite feint during the war commanded by Helaman. Antipus ordered Helaman to march out from Judea with his two thousand young Ammonite soldiers as if carrying provisions to a neighboring city, passing near the city of Antiparah as though bound for the city beyond it, in the borders by the seashore (Alma 56:30-31). The maneuver drew the strong Lamanite garrison out of Antiparah in pursuit of Helaman’s small force, while Antipus marched after the Lamanites with his army. Helaman’s men fled northward to lead the Lamanites away, and the pursuit ran for three days until the Lamanites halted (Alma 56:32-42). When Helaman turned back, the army of Antipus had overtaken the Lamanites; Antipus had fallen by the sword, but Helaman’s two thousand struck the Lamanite rear, and the combined Nephite forces surrounded the Lamanites and took them prisoner (Alma 56:49-56). The seashore city itself is named only as the pretended objective of the march; the text gives it no location beyond “the borders by the seashore” and no further detail.
