where do you keep the remote key when going for a swim or at the beach

My old car key (metal key without remote or buttons) I kept in a bag/pouch and put it in my swim short pockets. But with the remote key I am not sure where to put.

Best car securing demonstrated by Mr. Bean a long time ago isn't it? 😄

We all have our places we place them. I use two locations on my Prado when I am at the beach for a dip or a bush walk.
I use one of the chassis rails as a location, and the other I use is the section of the tow bar fitment

I have seen some people use a metal lock box and lock it onto the tow hook.

You don't need to lock them in here unless it's a Patrol, LC 70 series or Aqua 🤣

Jokes a side....you can get lock boxes for car keys. 
Some go on to the window :

but this might draw attention, and people might actually break the window to break the key out.

You also get key boxes that are sort of a padlock which is what I am guessing @john cooper was talking about as it can get locked on to the trailer hitch.

This can also be latched onto one of the coil springs (depending on the car) or a suspension arm under the car so its presence is not obvious.

 Take someone who doesn't like to swim with you just to keep the keys

This would be very easy to set up in Aussie 😂
