There's only one time of the year that the water gets murky, (a month or so) in the Spring during the rainy season the COE releases water out of Lake Occachobee and when the fresh water discharging from the Callosahattee River it mixes with the saltwater it turns the water dark green instead of the nice blue color, but it goes away fairly quick, the state is spending 30 million dollars for a retention basin upstream to keep this from happening, it pisses the visitors off when they're in town and hurts the vacation business.


The sand on the beaches is like powder, I'll post some pics of the sandcastle contests they have a couple times a year.
