The Avenida Marginal begins in the west of the center of Dili, where the Avenida Nicolau Lobato and the Avenida de Motael converge. On the north side there is still part of the harbor, before the promenade begins with the beach in front of which there are sometimes fishing boats. The strip of land belongs to Suco Motael , while the south side belongs to Suco Colmera . Both sucos are part of the Vera Cruz Administration Office .
