Alomg the gulf coast does the water get blue the further south you go?

Yes, along the Gulf Coast, the water tends to become clearer and bluer as you move further south. This is especially noticeable in areas like The Florida Keys and the southwestern coast of Florida, where the waters are often a vibrant turquoise due to the sandy seabed and lower levels of sediment and algae. In contrast, northern Gulf Coast areas, like parts of Louisiana and Mississippi, typically have murkier water due to river runoff and sediment.
