Pokémon Go relies heavily on Openstreetmap for controlling what types of Pokemon spawn and where.

A recently added pokémon spawns in "beach" areas. Some users may place fake beaches near areas they frequent.

That being said, I would also expect to see a boost in legitimate beaches being added on to the maps now.
