Hi, Bob (oh, no...another Hi Bob line! LOL....shades of Bob Newhart Show)...anyway, dining on Bonaire is very casual. No ties, no suits. Comfort is the key. Shoes and shirts required, be they Tees or polo or whatever. Some folks wear long pants when dining outside to cut back some of the insect bites at certain times of the year. Some repellent will suffice, too, if you wish to wear shorts instead. I don't know the current mosquito situation but I'm certain it has improved since the rainy winter season seems to be over. (had more rain than normal this winter).

The locals do not appreciate swimsuits being worn in town as they are a fairly modest people on the whole. Decent,clean, casual shorts and shirts with shoes are acceptable thru out the island.

For 'shoes' read 'not bare feet'. Sandals of all sorts are fine. :–)

Can't think of any place that you'd feel out of place dressed in anything from sandals/shorts/t-shirt to very casual summerware. As most people on this board suggest, pack as little clothing as you think you might need, then discard half of that before packing. There is absolutely no need for anything dressy. I cannot think of any establishment on Bonaire that has a "dress code" that is any more involved than "no shoes, no shirt, no service"! If it's important to YOU to feel dressier, go for it, but dressing up is definitely not required anywhere on Bonaire.

Cam, It is okay to say "Your slaw is in my dreams", provided the cook-out is scheduled while I am on Bonaire;-{)}

Michael, come to think of it I don't ever recall seeing you with shoes on your feet....that is the best way to live!! My feet are "happy" feet when they are naked, too. Fins don't count as shoes, right?! LOL. Carole
