Have never seen anyone on the beaches here with anything on their feet. Have not encountered any reason to.

The rocks are always there, just the sand is gone. Thanks to the water clarity most of the time you can see them and avoid. Bill always swims with goggles and the only debris he has seen is an occasional beer bottle then he dives down and picks up. Oh, and once he found a picture frame, but it was quite far out in the water. He also rescued that! We swim there typically twice a week. But if it makes you feel more comfortable, water shoes are a good choice.

As Elaine said, the water clarity should make debris easy to see but if you are concerned I would suggest something more substantial such as a water sandal with a more rigid sole. In the past I have seen some pretty nasty nails and metal after hurricanes. It is usually exposed and easy to see but if one did step on it there could be some major injury. Anything you choose to wear in the water will also capture a lot of sand that will continue to come out of the shoe, sock or sandal once you are out of the water.
