TL;DR
Nha Trang beaches are generally safe for most visitors, but it's wise to use a waterproof pouch for valuables when swimming rather than leaving them unattended on a sunbed.
After spending 2 months in Nha Trang and occasionally bringing a phone to the beach without incident, the constant worry while swimming wasn't worth it. The practical solution: leave gadgets at the hotel and bring a paperback instead.
During a 2-week trip covering multiple beaches — north, south, Cam Ranh, Doc Let — nothing was stolen, including a rented scooter. A waterproof pouch worn while swimming is a great solution: fits 2 phones, scooter keys, and cash.
Vacationing on the north Nha Trang beach with a child, belongings including a phone and lunch money were left on sunbeds without issue. Other Russian-speaking tourists nearby also reported no thefts.
