TRANSPORTATION
It's NOT recommended to rent a car on the main island and try to take it to Culebra on the cargo ferry. There are various good reasons for this: Reservations on the cargo ferry are usually very limited; insurance may not cover damage or liability incurred on Culebra; and most important of all— if you need roadside assistance on the (sometimes rough) roads of Culebra your car rental company can't help you out. It is definitely better to first get to Culebra and then rent your vehicle there. Here's a listing of transportation options for getting around Culebra— both by land and by sea.

A note about renting scooters: Be aware that you must wear not only a helmet but also gloves, long pants and closed shoes to ride the scooters. Police are giving fines to violators.

FOOD STORES

There are 2 food markets in the town of Dewey and 2 outside the town.

In town:  MAYRA'S (also referred to as CHELIN'S, pronounced chayleens) is on the hill leading to the bridge. It has the largest selection of foods, frozen and canned, and household goods. No liquor. Closed for siesta between 1:30-3:30 daily and closed Sundays.  The other market is COLMADO MILKA'S, across the bridge and before the Gulf gas station. They have more accommodating hours. Also a butcher in the back plus a pretty good selection of frozen & canned groceries and assorted fresh produce. They carry a respectable selection of wine/beer/liquor.  They are open on Sunday mornings.

Out of town: Just up the road opposite the airport entrance is the new ISLA DEL SOL market. They have a good selection of frozen & canned foods, some hardware & household goods, plus a small, reasonably priced wine/beer/liquor selection.  Open daily 7am-9pm, Sundays til noon.  The nearest food store to Casa SuMarco is COLMADO GENESIS which has basics from milk to produce to frozen meats and foods. No liquor. Open 7 days a week. Look for a sign on the main road (heading toward Zoni beach from Casa SuMarco) pointing down the street it's on. (Sorry, no street names or numbers anywhere on the island!)

Check out the island's largest selection of wines/liquors, specialty and gourmet foods, excellent (frozen) meats at EL EDEN, located near Milka's. They have fresh-baked grain breads, sandwiches, cold cuts, and home-prepared foods like veggie lasagna. Prices are on the high side but quality is tops. Some evenings they serve sit-down dinners.

Fresh white bread (and sometimes a version of whole wheat) is made daily at PAN DELI in town; also really nice sandwiches and prepared salads to take to the beach—but often long lines, slow service. Delicious white bread is also made fresh daily at PANEDERÍA EL PATIO near the airport, where they also make very nice sandwiches. They also sell basic groceries and some wine/beer.

During several months of the year on Fridays only there is a fruit/vegetable stand at the airport intersection. Available fresh produce varies from week to week.

There are a few other small delis and groceries, both in town and in local neighborhoods, that are not mentioned here.
