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...
Answers.comÂ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Houston is approx 50 miles from Galveston which sits on the Gulf. However, La Porte, TX and the Trinity Bayis only 25 miles from Houston. It is pretty close to the Gulf of Mexico and lots of water.
