galveston is mucky because it's so shallow - if you were to walk 5 miles from shore, you would never be more than 10 or 12 feet deep. Galveston Bay is very shallow, only around 9 feet deep, so once you get out of the bay and into the deep ocean, around 30 miles, the water won't be so muddy. I don't know whose webpage this is, but it's got some pretty good pictures of one of the beaches at Corpus Christi. http://home.att.net/~remediosc/beaches/b...
