Grantham Sound

Grantham Sound (Spanish: Bahia de Ruiz Puente) is a bay on East Falkland, Falkland Islands, which opens out into the Falkland Sound.[1] At its landward end, it narrows and becomes Brenton Loch (sometimes included as a part of it).[2] Mount Usborne overlooks it.

Along with San Carlos Water, it is one of the proposed sites for the East Falkland terminal for the anticipated ferry to West Falkland.
