Ordinary sunlight is composed of a spectrum of colors that ranges from violet and blue at one end to orange and red on the other.
When sunlight hits the sky in the middle of the day, the particles that make up air scatter and reflect the light. These particles scatter shorter wavelengths better than longer ones. Since blue and violet light are the shortest waves in the visible light spectrum, they are scattered the most. The human eye is more sensitive to blue light. Therefore, we see the sky as blue.

The color of the sky is a result of diffuse sky radiation which results in a light blue color. On a sunny day the earth sky usually looks as a blue gradient — dark in the zenith, light near the horizon (due to Rayleigh scattering). It can turn a multitude of colors such as purple due to the airs natural ligh purple color that diffuses in the skysunset/sunrise and turns black at night

It's not a refection from the water per se... It's a combination of light and water reflecting off of each other. If you scoop up some sea water, is it blue?

If it was green we wouldn't know where the sky stopped and our lawn started.
