Would anyone take their iPhone to the beach?

So I'm supposto be going to the beach on Saturday but I'm not sure if I should take my iPhone Bc I barely got it and it's new, Besides one time my cousin told me she lost her phone in the beach. Should I take my phone? Is the beach a safe place for it? Why or why not? What do you guys think?

I wouldn't take it if you plan on getting in the water. I also wouldn't take it anywhere and leave it bake in the sun, but if you are just going to sit on the beach and not leave your spot, then its fine to take it and leave it in a bag or covered. Otherwise if you aren't going to use it there then why even take it.

I have taken mine before, nothing bad happened. Got nice pics and vids

I do all the time. I turn the ringer off and just to listen to music most of the time. Look through my calls once in a while and return a call when I'm good and ready. I go to the beach to relax, work on my tan, read a book, not talk on the I-Phone the whole time.

Yes
