This made me LOL!! If you are anything like me I would recommend at least 4-5 pairs as I tend to kick them off in the sand and after a rum punch or two forget about them until then next day by which time they are long gone. Our last trip I did the whole day on the black river and pelican bar with no shoes at all!!!!
I'm with Mo - one for the beach, one for evening - but I try to do only carryon, so my space is limited....
I brought 5 pair (wore one pair down). I could have brought 2. LOL A beach pair - for the rare times I put shoes on!! And then a cute (and comfy) for evening. I think I asked the same question before I went because I was trying hard to cut down on what I packed. I was told, only bring 2 and didn't listen. Should have!

Best advice I got from this site..." pack 1/2 the clothes and twice the money!"
"Live for today as tomorrow is not promised" Live....Love....Laugh....
Unless going roadside or on an adventure, you don't need ANY
I like tennis shoes, especially for the airport and also for riding a scooter, plus TW0 pairs of sandals. Last time, I went with deck shoes instead of sneakers, and it worked out, though I wish i had a more stable pair of shoes for the departure cause there was a LONG wait at the Delta terminal. NEVER fly Delta if you can help it, folks.
I've learned not to bring too many shoes I won't wear. That said, two years ago I was walking back to Catcha from three dives and stepped in a hole along the road. Twisted my ankle, broke my sandal and fell right into the path of an oncoming red plate. Thankfully the driver saw it as it happened and stopped, jumped out and insisted on driving us to the hotel. Moral of the story: have a backup pair of sandals in case you need them! (And the good fortune of a quick-thinking driver!)
Thanks for all the tips! I'm going to try to remember the "less is more" theory while packing. If it doesn't work, I've decided I will hijack some space in either my hubby or son's suitcase!
Great idea about making a list after returning home.
