There's also the fact that beach (and sometimes pool) episodes and chapters of anime and manga have a reputation for being absolutely nothing but

1. Fanservice, with the focus on the characters' skin being exposed by their swimwear.

2. Filler, in that they don't progress anything in the plot, world-building, character development, or character relationships. You could remove these episodes/chapters and lose absolutely nothing.

Not to mention that these beach (and pool) episodes/chapters sometimes, in some cases, also get tentacles involved, even if they have to go out of their way to do so.

For example, there's the beach episode of Bleach, wherein, for some reason, watermelon Hollows (monsters) show up and start wrapping tentacles around the women and picking them up. So, we get a scene where some of the guys suddenly hear women screaming and turn to see a couple of the women being lifted into the air by tentacles that came out of the ocean. There's even a shot where you see the face of one of the women, and she's blushing and screams "Watch where you put that tentacle!!" Then it shows the other woman's face, and she, while also blushing, screams "Get that vine out of my swimsuit!!" (I kinda had to look up the episode to remember how bad it got...)

There was a lot going on with Bleach's beach episode, including the female characters going swimsuit shopping and one of them purposely wearing a bikini that's too small and barely contains her breasts. That character later suggests that their solution to their lack of buckets should be to press their breasts together and carry the water in their cleavage.

So... yeah. Of course beach episodes/chapters get a lot of hate and revulsion.
