Because the ocean is blue and the sun reflects off of it.

So when you look at the sky on a clear day, you can see the sun as a bright disk. The blueness you see everywhere else is all of the atoms in the atmosphere scattering blue light toward you. (Because red light, yellow light, green light and the other colors aren't scattered nearly as well, you see the sky as blue.)

Why is the sky blue?
A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

Blue light scatters the most.
No it's not a reflection of the ocean...the ocean is a reflection of the sky!

The simple answer is that the moisture in the air allows more BLUE light to pass through it than any other, thus giving off a more 'blue' tint to the air.
