I personally don't think that when everyone looks up when a guy in a speedo walks on the beach it is a look that implies disapproval. I think that is perceived only by the person wearing the speedo. The fact is that when anyone walks across the beach everyone looks at them -- not because of what they are wearing. It is just the fact that another person has entered. It is the same as when entering a restaurant or theatre -- people look out of curiosity. Could be they wonder if the know the person or are just bored and it is something else to look at. People may make note that you are wearing a speedo, just as they would make note of your board shorts. Disapproval -- highly unlikely. Think of it as what it is - a swim suit. One of many styles worn, but still just a swim suit and appropriate attire for the beach or pool. Chances are there are many other people there and their fascination with your arrival is momentary, they will be back in their own world having forgotten you before you get to your chaise.
One thing though. If you arrive on the beach in a pink see thru bikini prancing around like you are in a Pride parade - then yes. The looks you get are disapproval and not only from conservatives but even from gays that hate your adding to the stereotype of speedos=gay.
