Keep Your Eyes Closed And Your Gadgets Closer With This Beach Vault

I’m more of a going-for-a-swim person than tanning-all-day one. If you’re anything like me, you probably face the same, annoying question every time you goto the beach with friends: who stays behind to watch all of your gadgets?! Not to mention the keys to your car! Thank God, one start-up answered our prayers and came up with a solution so obvious, that I can’t believe we didn’t think of it before! #objectmagic

It’s called the Beach Vault. Shaped as a big, plastic screw bolt with a lid, it goes directly in the sand. You can squeeze your smartphone, sunscreen lotion, sunglasses and keys in there. Then, you just put the lid on and your towel on top. If you know there’s some risk the wind will blow it away, drawing strangers’ attention to it, you can use the special towel that comes with the Beach Vault and the inflatable pillow for coverage. Price: $39.

It may not be an Internet-enabled gadget like we’re used to, here, at Tech The Lead, but it makes for a great accessory that could make your life easier at the beach.
