How to keep your phone and money safe at the beach in Nha Trang?

TL;DR

Use a waterproof neck pouch for your phone and cash — you can swim with it on, keep your hands free, and not worry about theft.

What the community said

If you don’t want to take valuables into the water, a safer option is to rent a paid sunbed and carry only a small amount of cash: leaving items at an attended setup is generally more secure than leaving them directly on the sand. Even then, it’s still better not to leave valuables unattended.
