Best clear beaches in the USA?

Hey guys I am looking to travel with a family of 6.
Any recommendations and affordable clear water beaches in the USA?
Thanks in advance!

Dr. Beach says St. George Island State Park, Florida Panhandle is the best beach and has some of the clearest water. Clearwater Beach, FL is also a good option. BTW, Oklahoma does not have an ocean beach. The water is too cold on the West Coast and Texas doesn't have clearwater beaches (only murky water). Seems like you have posted on here before.

Actually the water at South Padre Island isn't murky, but I'm sure the OP, TexasTravelGuide knows that. I agree that the Florida panhandle would be better.

I better tell al those thousands of people on the beautiful beaches in San Diego that the water's too cold. Maybe a plane lying overhead with a banner?

I'd rather go to Hawaii than Florida, but I'm on the West/Best Coast.

Looking at the tagged states -- I'm not entirely convinced this is a serious question. But then I'm a skeptical sort . . .

I guess you need to use your imagination....

A "beach" with clear water in Oklahoma:

Virtually all the beaches in New England are clean, from Rhode Island up to Maine. However, the water north of Cape Cod can be quite chilly for many.
