Camping Questions
Culebra, Puerto Rico

Hello everyone!

Just want to say that I love this forum and that the regulars do an absolutely FANTASTIC job informing everyone about Culebra!!! I'm sending you an electronic beer in appreciation!

So my friends and I are planning on camping on Flamenco Beach at the end of May (19-26) and we've got a couple more questions following some of the recent posts

1) I just read in one of the following posts about someones watch that got stolen at the campsite - is this a problem at the campsite? We were planning on bringing locks to put on our tents for when we're not there, but obviously that wouldn't stop someone who was really determined to steal our stuff. Are there lockers or something similar at the camp center where we can keep stuff "locked down"? Just general opinion and insight on this whole issue would be helpful.

2) the mosquitos - no one is allergic, but obviously no one likes mosquitos. are they a pest on the actual beach? or is they just a problem further in the island? obviously we'll be bringing our OFF! and citronel candles so that we can enjoy the scenary as much as possible, but just wanted to get some general opinion and insight on this as well. also, there was talk about a certain part of the campsite being "less" prone to mosquitos - is this true? if so, what is it called because we'll call and reserve one of those spots.

3) nude/topless beaches - what is the deal here? i've been reading a lot about how a lot of the beaches around the island and on Luis Pena and Culebrita are deserted, is it kinda a first come first serve idea? are there penalities if my friends want to tan topless/nude?

4) getting to Culebrita and Luis Pena - we're very active and would love to get in a kayak/canoe-type while on the island. on that note, is it possible for us to kayak from Culebra to these smaller islands instead of taking one of these private boat taxis? it looks like its pretty easy to get around the island on foot - true?

thats all for now - thanks for all the help! this forum is so much help in planning ahead.
