How to protect your phone and money from theft and water on the beach in Nha Trang?

If your phone gets stolen on the beach, try using Find My Phone / device locator first. If that fails, report to police, but chances of recovery are low — stolen phones are often quickly stripped for parts.

Some beach loungers offer small attachable safes, but locals consider this overkill — a simple waterproof pouch you take into the water with your phone and cash is enough.

Keep cash in a zippered pocket rather than leaving it on your towel — items left unattended can get stolen. Banknotes under 10,000 VND aren't plastic, so getting them wet is not a big deal if it happens.

Vietnamese banknotes of 10,000 VND and higher are made of polymer plastic, so they're safe to take into the water. Waterproof arm pouches for phones are widely available online (Ozon, Wildberries) or at local shops.
