There are many factors which determines the color of the sea/ocean, The reflectivity of the water has an important role in the color of ocean.The color of ocean is generaly blue because the water reflects the image of the sky which is in blue color. But there are other factors also there which determine ocean color,The depth of the ocean,presence of colored algae and fine suspende solid particles.

Near to the shore the nutrient suply from the land will be high and because of that the density of algaes and phytoplankton will be more which gives a different color to the water near to the sea shore.
