Quite honestly, while it wouldn't make me particularly happy if I were to lose it, my kindle is so old and so well-traveled that it wouldn't be the end of the world if it was lost and it just might provide me with a good excuse to upgrade to one of the new and shinier versions, not that I need much of an excuse......
But that said, the point of this thread was the safety of bringing things to the beach, and I just want to add - DH and I have been visiting the island every year for 41+ years for anywhere from a week to two and a half weeks a trip and often times, multiple trips in the same year. We generally go to the beach every day at some point, be it for an hour or the day, and we bring our beach bag with the typical cell phone, small cash for the day, my kindle and the associated beach stuff one would typically have. We don't bring a lot of stuff beyond that - but that said, WE HAVE NEVER HAD OUR BELONGINGS BOTHERED IN ALL THOSE YEARS AND ALL THOSE TRIPS. Granted, we don't seek out the lonely beaches these days, but the little waterproof plastic case works well for the phone, keys and a few dollars and beyond that, we don't bring the stuff therefore we don't worry about theft on the beach. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

RoryS said: Faeowyn - do you have the larger Kyss bag? Do you find it heavy? I know you directed this question to someone else, but I have both sizes of Kyss bags and don't find them particularly heavy. The smaller one is good for your "personal item" on the plane and for short days at the beach. I use the larger one if I want to take my snorkel gear to the beach. I also have a vacation vault and carry it inside the Kyss bag.

That's a good point--a lot of places have good lending libraries. Now, I use the one at Beachside Villas all the time and there used to be a big one at La Vista also. I assume there still is.

NO JANUARY not robbed we both went into the water together, came out, sat around, ready to leave and noticed our money was gone, they actually took the time to go into our bag, and just take just the cash.but now we only go to cupecoy and orient extremely safe there, always just take about 50 bucks and 1 credit card, the guy was sitting around, observing..

Looks like the top can be gotten into with the lock still secure. With the kyss bag the top is zippered through the lock preventing someone just dipping into the bag to steal contents. I like the Kyss bag as it doubles as a beach bag and the top is securely closed. I see there is also an online $10.00 Kyss Bag coupon for April 2015.

We love the pac safe bag and have used it for years in hotels and other resorts that don't have in room safety deposit boxes. It is extremely secure and very durable.
