Hi,
I read your note about food and groceries on Culebra, and there is one grocery store in the middle of town for all of your needs. They carry a variety of meat, vegetables and anything you'll need during your stay. Directly across the street from the grocery store, there's a fruit market, but I've heard to buy fruit off of the truck that supplies the stores there is much better.
There are several places to eat on the island, and quite reasonably priced too. There's an outside "cafe" across from the new school they're building there. You won't want to miss eating the BEST red snapper dinner in town there for about $13. It's run by mom & pop, and if you ask around, someone can tell you the exact location of that "restaurant/bar".
If you are taking your automobile to Culebra, you will need to get a reservation on the ferry (the schedule is on the internet) because it only makes trips at certain times, and you must have a reservation to get on the ferry with an automobile. The island is 7 miles long, so unless you're planning on riding bikes, you may want to keep the auto to drive around and see all of the beaches.
Be SURE you wear a shirt AND seatbelt while driving over there! They strictly enforce the shirt and seatbelt law over there.
Be sure to check out the new Culebra museum, which is located near the cemetary.
Would love to hear how your visit goes, as we are going back in a couple of months to check on our little shack on the hill.
Oh, there is a grocery store in Fajardo that you can go get food at before you get to the ferry dock.
Enjoy your stay!
