Seems more appropriate to just run a boat up on the beach than to build and maintain a dock. Lots of boats are put on the beach here between tides and to do work on them.

Actually, I'm not sure they are condominiums, they just remind me of them.

I think lawns look better when boats are being built on them.

looks lovely.
If you like fruit and fish, there is not a big requirement to have money here.

The beautiful 18m (56 foot) schooner Dalia was built in Brazil, as a replica of a Gloucester Fishing schooner. The hull is a very hard and rot-restant Brazilian wood called ipê, the deck, house and spars are a lighter Brazilian wood called freijó.
We had a pleasant visit with Dalia's friendly owner/builders George and Silvana, at their house, which Dalia is moored in front of.

This is how most stuff is moved around on Abraao, by hauling carts. The T-shirt this man is wearing identifies him as a legal cart-person.

Very few motor vehicles are allowed on Abraao...mostly police vehicles and this one dump truck.

The Deepwater Millenium is a deep-water drilling ship that is anchored and (presumably) drilling in shallow water near Ilha Grande.
