TL;DR
Based on traveler feedback, a grab-and-run theft from the beach seems unlikely, but leaving phones and documents unattended is still not recommended. A practical solution is to use a waterproof pouch and avoid leaving valuables on the sand if everyone in your group goes into the water at the same time.

If both travelers want to swim at the same time, the safest approach is to plan for valuables in advance: don’t leave your phone or documents unattended on a towel, and take them into the water in a waterproof pouch instead.
