The 7 Best Beach Lock Boxes of 2020

The Safego Portable Travel Lock Box gets our top ranking on this list for its quality, convenience affordability and durability. It’s a lightweight safe that’s small and portable, but strong enough to keep all your valuables safe. There’s plenty of room to stash your wallet, cash, keys, phone, camera and sunglasses when you want to head into the water or go for a walk on the beach. Safego is simple to use and can be opened using either a key or a three-digit custom combination, which can be changed as often as you'd like.

Constructed from high-impact ABS plastic, Safego is water-, salt- and sand-resistant. Even if you’re lounging right next to your stuff, you may choose to keep your valuables in your Safego to protect them from the elements. It comes with an adjustable plug opening, so you can listen to music while your device is safely inside the box. Safego also comes with a heavy-duty, 17-inch adjustable cable that can be used to securely lock around almost any fixed object. You can also use the cable as a handle to tote your lock box to the beach or pool. The Safego comes in different colors, including white, pink, black, gold and blue, so you can choose one that best suits your style.

If you want a lock bag that holds a lot and can also be used as a carry-on bag or a pack when you’re sightseeing, the Pacsafe Travelsafe X15 Anti-Theft Portable Safe is a great option. It comes with a TSA-accepted three-dial combination lock to secure the stainless steel cable to a fixture in your hotel room, by the pool, in the car, or in-flight, and is compatible for a 15-inch laptop. Lightweight and water-resistant, this portable safe folds down flat so it can easily fit in your luggage. It also comes with carry handles and a removable shoulder strap for easy transport.

If you’re looking for a quality portable safe from a trusted brand, the Master Lock Portable Safe is an excellent budget-friendly choice. This safe isn’t designed specifically for securing valuables at the beach or pool, but it’s water-resistant and can keep your electronic devices and wallet safely locked up while you’re going for a swim.

It features a resettable four-dial combination lock and comes with a cable that can be secured to a fixed object. The earbud/charging cable access port allows you to listen to music or charge your devices while keeping them stored away. The Master Lock Portable Safe also comes with a limited lifetime guarantee for added peace of mind.

If you need a beach bag that can hold more than a handful of electronics, the Locktote Flak Sack Theft Resistant bag has the extra space you require. This stylish drawstring backpack measures 13.5 x 18 inches and is made of double-layered, slash-resistant fabric. An internal pocket is ideal for credit cards and comes equipped with RFID-blocking material. The exterior is pretreated with industrial-grade stain and water repellent. There’s a main locking strap that is reinforced with stainless steel that is cut-proof and comes with a combination lock. For comfort, sternum straps can help reduce pressure so you can carry it around town after spending time on the sand.

From the company that also makes the AquaVault, the FlexSafe is more portable than some other travel safes. Although it won’t hold as much as the AquaVault, it’s light and very versatile. It can be secured to any fixed object, such as your lounge chair, stroller, bike or beach umbrella, and also features a belt loop and padded carry strap, so it’s easy to take on the go. The FlexSafe is water-resistant, slash-resistant, made of heavy-duty materials and also features RFID blocking to protect data on your electronic devices.

The PacSafe TravelSafe is light and folds flat for easy packing, making it a perfect travel safe for beach vacations. Like other portable safes, you can store your valuables inside and secure to a stationary item. It features a TSA-accepted three-dial combination lock, a padded EVA foam laminated and soft brushed polyester lining, water-resistant exterior and handles for convenient carrying.

In addition, the poly-canvas material is embedded with Pacsafe's patented 360-degree eXomesh locking system and a stainless steel wire mesh, so you can feel confident that your valuables are safe inside. It’s available in two sizes: The 12L model can fit a 13-inch laptop, while the 5L model is big enough to store an iPad (10-inch tablet).

If you’re heading to the beach, you’re most likely bringing along a cooler and a beach bag, so why not carry one that can also keep your valuables safe? The CoolBag Gen 2 is a versatile, high-quality and durable bag with anti-theft features including a puncture-proof zipper, slash-resistant fabric and a combination lock.

The padded cable straps/handles can be detached and used to wrap the bag around a stationary object, securing the CoolBag and its contents. Other security features include inside RFID pockets to protect passports and credit cards. It’s easy to stay organized with the CoolBag’s inside mesh pockets, side water bottle pockets, magazine pocket and padded section for tablets.

The cooler compartment allows you to access cold snacks and drinks from inside or outside the bag. Although this bag is on the expensive side, it’s worth the price for the top-notch features, security and high-quality.
