The farmer's market in Bahia (Uvita) currently runs Weds and Sats from 8-2p. Fresh produce and artisans bring their wares. Easy bike ride from the Cabinita. (There is also a farmer's market at the Cancha in Uvita on Saturdays, also fresh produce and worth visiting but longer bike ride from the Cabinita).

Bikes are handy to get to the beach

The cabinita is on a dirt road that does not require 4x4, though it makes the ride more comfortable. The two main beach entrances are an easy bike ride.
