Where is the water most pristine at Newfound Lake?

Ok, this is a Winnipesaukee Forum but I've not found a better place to post this question.

My family decided to spend the first week of summer at Newfound Lake because so many people have praised its pristine water. We ended up staying at a waterfront cottage near Whittemore Point. The water accessible from the shore was clean but didn't really look like "one of the cleanest" in the US. I could definitely see some algae growth underneath. (I'm not much of a lakes person, but the clarity didn't compare favorably against Lake Tahoe, in my opinion.)

So I'm wondering if the water is clearer at some other parts of Newfound Lake. My family loved the lake and its surrounding vibe so much that we want to vacation there again, but preferably where the water is clearer.
