turquoise water

Caribbean sea shade

Turquoise water describes water with a vivid blue-green color, typically seen in tropical seas, shallow lagoons, or glacier-fed lakes.

The color results from light interacting with clear water over white sand or limestone, or from suspended mineral particles: The turquoise water of the Caribbean, We swam in the turquoise waters of the cenote.

The phrase evokes paradise destinations and pristine conditions.
