The S part of this section of coast is intersected by three river channels. The Riviere Bliss (12°46'N., 16°47'W.) is very difficult to identify. It lies between the S end of Presqu'ile aux Oiseaux, 18 miles S of the mouth of the Allahine, and Ile aux Oiseaux, which lies on the outer edge of an extensive drying sandbank, 0.5 mile SSW. The Riviere Kalisseye (Souta) (12°42'N., 16°47'W.) enters the sea 4 miles S of the Riviere Bliss and can be identified by the wide gap formed in the coast. Marigot aux Huitres (12°39'N., 16°47'W.) enters the sea 7 miles S of the Riviere Bliss and is also difficult to distinguish. Heavy breakers occur in all of these entrances.
