The International Swimming Hall of Fame is there.

They host lots of events all year. Not that that makes brief swimwear popular on the beach. I have been there and wore and ran on the beach in a speedo type swimsuit the whole time (like I always do). I recall that there were other guys in speedo type suits, but like most beaches, board shorts were the norm.
Looks like a nice place to live.
