Just west of the coast's center, the “R. de Spirito Santo” flows into the familar large bay (here “Mar Pequeno”).

Between the “Mar Pequeno” and the Rio Grande ("Rio Bravo") are eleven place-names (east to west): "C. de la Cruz," "C. deserto," "R. de Montanhas," "R. de Laso," "Costa baixa," "R. Suelo," "Plaia," "La Madalena," "C. Blanco," "Costa de areboledas," "R. Solo."
