I was in Culebra alone and camped at Flamenco. I certainly didn't leave anything of value out in the open, buried my passport, extra cash, etc and left personal belongings in my tent. I had no issues what-so-ever. I was out for a few evenings and a full day on Culebrita too, and nothing went missing. There were also other, longer term visitors who live there all winter, equipped with computers, stoves, etc, who also left their things. I'm sure there's some crime, but if one is careful not to leave things laying about, it should be fine. Plus, you make friends pretty quickly there and you all sort of look out for one another. At least that was my experience.
So far as lugging a cooler around...ugh...forget it. Take an extra towel to sit on, wear a hat, pack a snack and a couple water bottles in your snorkel or beach bag and you're good to go. And don't forget to take your sunscreen everywhere....oh....and some vinegar just in case you meet up with a sea urchin or some jellyfish. I also took water purification tablets, just in case. It's generally a good idea to pack your emergency information in your beach bag...again, just in case. Just relax and have a blast. Oh...one more thing...take Solarcaine and antihistamines. They work well on the bug bites you'll have from the knees down. I found it tough to sleep due to the itching without them. You're going to have a great time!
