But to suggest that others on the beach are going "Oh - its OK for HER to do it because she just wants tan boobs, but not OK for the black girl" - well, I've never run into that in all my years. There are just too many other good reasons to go naked at the beach, and people have been doing it long enough now that I don't see much of a stigma attached to it anymore. Maybe where you live, perhaps....but not where I go.
Anyway, but to offer a different explanation for the relative lack of black women on nude beaches, I would suggest some cultural factors. Such as the perception among blacks perhaps that nude beaches are the province of white, upper middle class, educated people, dare say "elites" or "cultural elites" in society. Would you tend to see blacks mingling with that group in general? If not, then maybe they just feel more comfortable spending their free time elsewhere.

I think Klondike makes a good point.
Also, I'll add my two cents. Most black people grow up in families that are deeply religious. So there is the "shame" factor and the "you are going to hell if you show off your body" factor. This thinking seems to be decreasing with more pics being available like in this thread and in the "self-shot" thread.
