Answer:

Ocean water tastes salty because it contains very high concentration of dissolved salts, (mainly sodium chloride, just like table salt). These salts are not visible because they mix completely with water. So, we can't see it but can taste it. Over time, salt builds up a very high concentration because it doesn't evaporate with water.
