TL;DR
Theft from unattended beach spots does happen occasionally, so avoid leaving valuables unwatched — use a waterproof pouch for cash and phone, or stay close to your belongings.
Theft isn't constant or widespread — many people leave their stuff on a towel under palm trees away from crowded lounger areas and swim for a long time without anything going missing.
Leaving valuables unattended, especially in crowded lounger areas, does carry some risk — reports of theft from other travelers shouldn't be ignored.
To protect cash and phone at the beach, use a waterproof pouch you can take with you into the water, minimizing the risk of theft.
