There are several panga operators for both touring and fishing. We actually gave a tandem kayak to Juan Louis (Water guy) and he rents that and one other he has. Juan also supplies the necessary fire ring and wood for fires as there are no open fires allowed on the site in Santispac. Of course you can also fish from the kayak as the nearest island (far side) is know for Triggers as well as the first point to the right of the beach you camp on. No bait is available and the nuisance little bay fish can be cut up for bait. Most bring frozen squid or shrimp from the states. The Panga guys will put you on fish though and clams, etc.

For the ladies (shopping) there is a nice shop just a couple of doors down from the bank (towards the laundromat intersection – good place to do clothes, purchase tokens from the owner for the machines). There is also another tourist shop near the park but is hit and miss on being open. We have eaten at the open air eateries in the small park (good place for coffee and internet reception) but noticed the small finch birds perched on the bean pot edge on the stove when the owner is distracted and tale-tell droppings being deposited 🙁 Coffee is good and all else without beans is good. 🙂

All of this is predicated on the possibility that much might be closed waiting for the November season to start.
