To ask what you do with your belongings when you go to the beach solo?

I’m not new to solo travel, but I am new to solo summer travel.

I have a few beach visits planned and don’t really know what to do with my stuff if I go to the beach? Do I just leave my bag on the beach and hope it doesn’t get knicked, or do I accept that I just won’t be going in the sea unless I book into a beach club?

Same as what I would do if I went to the beach with someone else. Leave it at “camp”. Cover expensive stuff with a towel or something so it’s not too obvious. We don’t take turns for swimming.

I’ve seen reels of people putting valuables in a ziplock bag and then burying them a little under their towel!

Either keep your key/ credit card phone on you in a waterproof pooch

or don't go in the water.

I would NEVER leave my belongings.

Best alternative is paying a private club/ hotel and leaving your belongings in their lockers.
