How can I keep my belongings safe while swimming at Nha Trang Beach?

TL;DR

Do not leave bags, phones, cash or clothing unattended on Nha Trang Beach, even on apparently empty loungers or under the promenade palms. Take valuables into the water in a waterproof pouch or have someone stay with your things.

What the community said

There was an attempted bag theft near the palm-lined promenade while a swimmer was in the sea. Do not assume a bag hidden under clothing will go unnoticed; keep it with you or leave it with someone who stays on shore.

Even on a quiet-looking beach, do not leave children’s clothing, drinks or personal items unattended on loungers. Other beachgoers may use the lounger and handle what is left there, so keep essentials in a closed bag and take them with you.

Beach loungers

Near the Lotus area on the central beach, unattended bags can attract attention from more than one person while the owner is swimming. If you are entering the water with a child, do not leave belongings alone: carry only minimal cash, keep documents out of the beach bag, and use a waterproof phone pouch.
