When water goes to the ocean, most of the time its by a river. When rivers travel over land it picks up particles like salt. When the river meets the ocean at the rivers delta the slowing of the speed of the river causes the bigger sized particles to get deposited at the bottom of the ocean. The smaller particles(salt) remain in the water making the water salty.
