also in the neighborhood is the igreja de nossa senhora da conceição de jurujuba, a small church dating back to 1629 - with an inscription on its door reading 'charitas' (charity), source of the name of the area that over the years was only left to indicate the nearby neighborhood and beach of charitas. 

alameda marechal pessoa leal, the road perpendicular to the praia das salinas leads directly to the entrance to the forte do rio branco, and from there to the forte de são luiz, and to the forte do pico.

along this beach there are no public bathrooms, and no life guards on duty - with the closest public bathroom located in the estação hidroviária de charitas.
