How far up do the aqua blue shorelines (like sobe) go? Is Fort Lauderdale much different? WPB?

I think it depends on the sky and sand conditions to be honest. Once you start getting into areas where there are rivers or a lot of freshwater and estuaries near the coast line, in murkies the water a bit. I would say the palm beaches south would be your best bet.

Ft. Lauderdale's water is more crystal clear looking, and West Palm Beach is more periwinkle. Miami Beach down to the Keys is really where the turquoise waters reach. Southwest Florida's water is more murky than turquoise, but Central and Panhandle beaches on the Gulf have clear waters as well.

The Aqua Blue water comes from the white sand in the water and the way the sun light bounces off it, I believe. Also algae blooms or other organisms in the water affect what color the water looks like the human eye.
