Recommend a super tiny, lightweight, waterproof knapsack for this scenario

Anonymous
Beach hopping on public beaches throughout the Caribbean, so we need to take turns watching our valuables when we swim/wade. We won't want to leave our wallets, keys, cell phone or camera in the rental car. I'm fine with leaving towels and sunblock unattended on the beach.

Thoughts?

Why waterproof?

Eddie Bauer makes a daypack that folds up into itself and is very small:

It's water resistant but not waterproof.

Try something like this:

Wildtek Clasp Lock System TPU Waterproof Case with Adjustable Neck Strap for Smartphones, GPS, mp3 Player - White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TEG2PZO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_BzxFybWTXS1ES

Mpow Waterproof Case, Universal Floating Dry Bag Pouch for Outdoor Activities for Devices up to 6.0" [2-PACK] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I1430WQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_lAxFybEPA3E5T

Not a knapsack though.

Can you put it in a ziplock bag & bury it under your towel?

Get a machine washable backpack (most are) and a proper drysac.

Search for cell phone dry bag. Get one that's a bit big for your phone and has a long cord to go around your neck. I pare down in these instances, so I'll have just my cell phone, a credit card/some cash, and whatever key I need in the dry bag. Rental cars kind of suck b/c they make it hard to take just the key. The dry bag I have allows me to use the touch screen on my cell phone and is clear on the back so I can still take pictures. I've gone swimming with it and never had it leak. We're on the water a lot in the summer so it gets regular use.

I would use a luggage lock and secure around a pole or other stationary object.
