...Has anyone else noticed this trend elsewhere?

Yes. It has happened at various C/O beaches in the Malibu area of California and in Hawaii, and I'm told by a German woman friend that it is happening in Germany and the Canary Islands and the various islands of the Mediterranean. In California and Hawaii, I feel that it is partly due to expanding urban and resort areas and the rising cost of newly built homes that overlook what used to be wild shoreline. It also seems to coincide with the influx of Asians, muslims, and Latinos in recent decades, all of these groups much more covered up in their clothing rules. It has gotten so that a preference for beach nudity is a guarantee that the person is "of a certain age" - even in Frei Körper Kultur Germany and among Germans on vacation. All I can say is.... crap!
