Who is the voyeur you're talking about - one of the old VW guys? One of them is still in action (Sandfly).
Is he the one? If so, when did he share his secrets? Still gets amazing scenes. I like the stuff that's obviously NOT staged - too much of the HQ material around looks suspiciously convenient and the girls pretty dumb not to have seen the camera.

The internet still does run on coal... according to statistics, 30% of all US power generation in 2016 was produced by coal.

(but I know what you mean - lol)
I think I probably shouldn't say who I am referring to, other than to say the shooter in question used to have a pay site dedicated to beach material, and that his method appeared to work quite successfully.
Also, I disagree with your last statement, or at least in relation to the content from ILoveTheBeach & several other popular sites. The vast majority of that I've seen is shot in Eastern European countries (enter text from signs in the videos into Google translate set to "detect language", or pause the video & use GT in photo OCR mode on your phone to do a real-time translation & tell you what language it is to figure out what country it was shot in). People there still aren't as wound up tight about voyeurism as in other places... yet. And while I have no specific knowledge of the exact video camera setup they use, I can think of various methods of getting the footage that their guys do. It's pretty clear to me that their shooters pick a girl, then sit down and focus on getting top quality footage her for as long as they can, as opposed to "running & gunning" as many different girls as they can in an afternoon. The camera clearly is obscured in some way, because if the girl goes to the water or walks around, there is only a limited range of camera motion, and sometimes a black edge of something comes into the frame, although they are pretty careful about editing out anything that would hint at what type of "container" they use to hide the camera. When you are shooting in a relaxed, thoughtful manner like that, you have more options, because you can bring a reclining chair (or on some beaches they rent them) or blanket, and sports bag with your "stuff" in it (could this be where the camera is?), drinks, maybe a small cooler (could this be where the camera is?) all the usual stuff that non-voyeur-shooter beach-goers bring to the beach.
As I talked about in the "Ranger Adventure" thread in the upskirts section, how the public perceives YOU is probably even more important than your equipment. People will sometimes believe what they are told, but they NEVER doubt what they conclude on their own. I got great shots at a certain yearly drinking festival because rather than skulking around like a guilty conscience voyeur, I took pictures of anything and everything with my camera fully visible all the time. People concluded I was the event photographer and invited me to take their pictures, and this allowed me the freedom to obtain many great upskirt shots as well. If you go to the beach decked out like all the other beach-goers, you will quickly blend in, and no further attention will be paid to you. I can almost guarantee you this is how the ILoveTheBeach guys do it.
One time at the Barcelona beach, I watched a guy with a huge, white Canon lens on a 1D<something> pretending to take pictures of a pretty girl who was pretending to be a bikini model. What they were actually doing was working as a team to get high resolution stills of topless women sunbathing on the beach. How do I know? Because as someone with extensive experience with cameras, I knew she was too close to the massive telephoto lens for her to actually be the subject of the photo, and I also knew that the field of view of that lens to be so narrow as that she would not even appear in the image given that angle he had his camera pointed at (slightly to the left or right of her head). But the average beach goer would **never doubt** that this was a model shoot, thus nobody was paying the slightest amount of attention to them.
