Such priggishness is but a symptom of a backlash to the sexual revolution that "Christians™" have forced down everyone's throats. What else would you expect from the "Hillbilly Riviera?"

Oh and they need to get over themselves. In state parks in California there is always a section of beach reserved for nudists. And they don't get hassled at all. They don't even bother with speedos!
Down that far it's not quite as hillbilly usually, although this may be an example of the way it's going by now. The true 'redneck Riviera' is from Mobile Gulf Shores all along the northwest Florida coast, centered on Panama City. I spent a lot of time there as a child.

These reports help me, as I tend to want to be somewhat exhibionistic at beaches, and I have a hard time remembering that I could get in serious trouble if I don't curb some of this.

The Bonita Springs area is full of rich people. I don't know if that's where Naples is, but they're all loaded down that way. Weird thing is that the beaches on the real Redneck Riviera are the most perfect white-sand ones in the U.S. There are others in Thailand and in Polynesia, but the usual kind is beige or light tan as on the Atlantic and CA coast and also the Mediterranean.
