Culebra, Puerto Rico

Hi. We are a family of 3 adults, and will be visiting Culebra next week. We will be in San Juan 2 days, and Culebra for 6 days. We plan to each bring a carry on bag, and maybe bring one shared checked-in bag with masks, fins, etc. I need some help with what to bring, or not bring. What is usual attire to wear to dinner? Will sneakers be needed to walk on trails and rocks, or will sturdy sandals work? Will more than 1 sweater be needed? We plan to take a water taxi to Culebrita? Will a sweatshirt or windbreaker be needed for the ride? What comment do you have for snorkel equipment? We plan to snorkel almost every day, plan to bring masks, and would like to rent fins if it wasn't too expensive.

I've not had any problem hiking in sturdy sandals. There are cacti and acacia thorns to watch out for, but the acacias can go right through shoes (and bike tires), so you have to watch out for them regardless. Our daughter hikes in flip flops, which I can't stand, but since she wears them everywhere, including in the winter in Michigan, she does fine. I always take a sweatshirt, and never wear it. Shorts, tank tops, swimsuits, and an old T-shirt to protect your back from the sun when snorkeling should be plenty.

For the restaurants we've eaten at, we've fit right in with shorts and casual tops -- tank tops, T-shirts, etc. We bring our own snorkel equipmentr, including fins, but if you're flying and weight is a consideration you may want to leave the fins at home and rent.
