Surely there would be grades of beaches that would vary day to day depending on exactly who is there in any given day. I would suggest as follows:
Speedo violent: Wear speedos and someone will come over and hit you.
Speedo shunning: People will turn their backs on you and avoid contact except for unfriendly sideways glances.
Speedo snideing: People accept you in your speedos but make occasional snide remarks that you are intended to overhear.
Speedo neutral: You wear your speedos, they wear their baggy shorts, live and let swim.
Speedo friendly: Enough men and boys in speedos for brief swimwear to appear the normal option without it seeming to be the "gay option".
Speedo majority: Nearly all men and boys in speedos, anyone sunbathing or swimming in big baggy shorts beginning to look ridiculously overdressed.
