Gee Leon that is really unusual, it is normally a turquoise colour. They are not dredging again are they as that usually messes it up a bit. The islands are great for fishing and many have small houses (read shacks) setup by locals who have a 100 year lease. You need a boat but be careful swimming in that water as there are lots of nasty critters. There is a really nice beach if you head back toward Karratha but turn left on the burrup road. About 5km up you come to a turnoff (used to be a construction camp) to hearson cove, lovely spot. I lived and worked there between 1984 - 1988 and loved the place. There is also another great spot about 60km north called Point Sampson and an old ghost town called Cossack. All very interesting but I suggest you give Roebourne a big miss.
