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...
The Bay holds more than 18-trillion gallons of water â thatâs about 27 million Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of water. The Bay would hold a lot more water, except itâs usually very shallow. Itâs average depth is only about 21 feet, although it dips down to 174 feet at its deepest spot â off of Bloody Point on Kent Island, Maryland. And where does all that water come from? Try the 150 or so rivers and streams that dump into the Chesapeake. Also the Atlantic Ocean, which flushes salt water in through the mouth of the Bay.
