They have snorkeling gear to loan to guests. They can arrange an all day fishing trip on the Awesome, riding on the beach at Boca del Palmas, a fishing trip at Cabo Pulmo by Panga, or a diving excursion at Cabo Pulmo. Villa del Faro is within 3 miles of some of the best surfing on the East Cape.

Visit the local marine park and enjoy its extraordinary diving and snorkeling. Fishing is not allowed and responsible ecological rules are followed. They helped set it up. They also work with "Los Angeles del Estero" fighting to preserve and protect the threatened estuary in San Jose del Cabo, home of many endangered species and a stop over on the migration route of many more.

Safety: They have never had any theft, and there is a lock on the door of the cottage. You can also leave valuables in your locked car or up at the Villa. There is an internet phone for emergencies only. The ocean is safe for swimming and snorkeling, one of the safest swimming beaches in Baja Sur.

Water: The East Cape is a desert, and there is no water. It is more precious than gold. Use it sparingly. They provide bottled water to drink. Tap water is bought from a local ranch and then purified.

Electricity: All houses run on solar power, supplemented by a generator on cloudy days.

Heat in winter: Every bedroom including the Stone Beach Cottage, has a working fireplace. They provide wood.
