Well, that depends on if you are a practioner of acupressure or an outer-space enthusiast. If you are the former, it's located in the center of your breastbone, and is helpful in eliminating emotional stress or eye fatigue. For the purposes of this column, we'll assume you are the latter, in which case the Sea of Tranquility is located on the moon.
And how do we know all this? A Yahoo! search on "sea of tranquility" and some serious digging enlightened us. The majority of search results had nothing whatsoever to do with the lunar location (you'd be suprised how popular a title Sea of Tranquility is).
After some serious sorting, we learned that Mare Tranquillitatis, the Latin name for this dark spot visible in the northern hemisphere of the moon, is most famous as the landing site of Apollo 11. That infamous "small step for man" took place in the southwestern part of the Sea of Tranquility on July 20, 1969. Upon landing, astronaut Buzz Aldrin surveyed the terrain and called it "magnificent desolation."
Other "seas" on the moon include the Sea of Crisis, the Sea of Fecundity (or Fertility), and the Sea of Serenity. These seas, or maria, are not actually bodies of water, but are lower-altitude plains filled with "dark, solidified lava from earlier periods of Lunar volcanism." Most of the maria are concentrated on the side of the moon we can see from Earth, the near side of the moon. The far side of the moon (or "dark side" to Pink Floyd fans) is more barren and has few maria.

This Sea of Tranquility is the site of the first ever "landing" on the Moon, which took place on July 20th, 1969. The mission was called Apollo 11. Neil Armstrong was the first man to set a foot on the Moon. Right after him, in the same ship, "Buzz" Aldrin followed his steps. Their partner, Mitchell, stayed in the Mother Ship, surrounding the Moon.

An area of the moon which was named a long, long time ago. It is not really a sea, as there is no water on the moon, but what appears to be a very flat area without visible craters.
