Yes, this
"my wife once remarked that she "certainly wasn't going to be the only woman walking around naked" when no one else was."
Yep, and that's the issue. Women don't like to be seen as "that woman," i.e. a show off. Resorts promote the "clothing optional" thing to encourage people to come who are hesitant, and it eventually becomes "nudity optional," except at the pool. I've been to a campground where there were groups of clothed people sitting around. Maybe the state campgrounds were full? Some posters above say that nude beaches are more nude than ever, I certainly am not seeing that. Even at Haulover a couple years back there were lots of people in swim suits. Odd, because textile beaches are next door. Maybe I just hit a bad day.
