But when looking for that clear water in the Atlantic, do we have that?

Not always, like the Caribbean waters. The water always looks clear and a blue-green color. It's the water you can always see your feet in them. Not here in New Jersey, I can't see my feet in the water.

Believe it or not we have some of the cleanest beaches in America. But, what about the clearest water.
