at a glance | a large pier on the right side of the beach gives name to this beach, and it is constantly live with activity as fisherman dock here to load and unload throughout the day and at night. on the left side of the beach, under the shade of many palm and chestnut trees, local elders can be seen repairing the fishing nets used at sea by the younger fishermen - this is one of the most interesting aspects of praia do cais. remarkable skill can be noticed in the way hands and feet are used to hold the nets as they are built or repaired. interestingly, only the elders and the women of the community seem to be in charge of this task, as the younger men are all out to sea. |
