TL;DR
Nha Trang is generally safe for tourists, but petty theft can happen if you're careless. Keep valuables minimal, use a waterproof pouch at the beach, and avoid drinking or smoking with strangers at night.
At the beach, bring only essentials: phone, room key, and a small amount of cash for drinks. A waterproof pouch works great as both a wallet and phone case. Avoid drinking or smoking with strangers on the beach at night, and stay at reputable hotels — that's really all you need for a safe trip.
Street crime in Nha Trang is rare. The main risk is falling asleep drunk with your phone or cash in hand. Stick to well-lit tourist areas and you'll be fine.
Leave expensive jewellery and valuables at home. Hotel room safes are not foolproof — staff often have a master key, and dishonest employees do exist. Travel with only the minimum you actually need.
