Beach Trail Gate
Brazilians have complicated relationships and reasonings when it comes to respecting-- or not respecting-- private properties and borders. Given the colonial beginnings of Brazil and the troubled dealings between indigenous tribes and the Portuguese conquest of the land, many native Floripans tend to "go where they will" and don't always respect the concept of property.
Hans has to sometimes find creative ways to discourage locals from trespassing onto the property through the guise of nature conservancy and hidden entrances to the property.
The Aviva beach access trail is disguised by 3 consecutive gates. The first one doubles as a public garbage can, encouraging passerby to at least deposit their garbage. The second gate looks like a bench half hidden in the bushes. The third gate, above, is hidden deep in the foliage where it can't be seen by casual hikers. You have to look for it to find it.
