Ilha BelaOne of the days spent on

While visiting in  Ubatuba, we spent one entire day visiting the "Ilha Bela" (the Island Beautiful).  We took a bus from Ubatuba to São Sabastião. From there we boarded the ferry,  for there are no bridges to the Island. Here we are under way and the island is in the background. 

Even though there are clouds in the background, the sun was unusually warm.

We had a our lunch in a little park along the seawall, with our feet dangling  a few  feet above the waves that were spashing at the foot of the wall.  We had purchased some sandwiches at a snack shop along this road.

There were lots of shops along this road that led inland from the ocean.

Looking towards the mainland from the ferry on the trip back. Walk-on passengers were not required to to pay for the trip to or from the island.  The ferrys only charge passage or the vehicles, and they run 24/7.

Several large ships were anchored in this port, waiting to take on or unload  cargo.

We are almost ready to disembarque and go back to the inn.
