La Paloma is located on both sides of a low peninsula, joined to the coast by a narrow sandy isthmus, about 1.0nm NE of Cabo Santa Maria. Puerto Viejo is S of the peninsula; Puerto Nuevo is to the N of the peninsula. Puerto Nuevo, has a controlling depth at its entrance channel of approx 5.6m and is formed by a rubble breakwater about 128m long, on its Western side, stretching out from a SW to NE direction, and a longer breakwater (600m long) to the East, projecting in a SE and NW direction. Rocks, awash, extend about 0.3 mile E from the E end of the peninsula. Puerto Vieio, with depths of 1.2 to 3.9m, is a bay entered between the reefs extending S from the peninsula and Isla de la Tuna, about 0.4nm NE of Cabo Santa Maria and close offshore. The entrance, about 0.1nm wide, is dangerous and local knowledge is essential. A 3m shallow patch lies about 0.4 mile NE of the same point. A pier at the S end of Puerto Nuevo has a depth of about 5m alongside its head, which is 15m long. A light is shown from the head of the pier.
