south Atlantic
The southern most point of south America is where the South Pacific meets the South Atlantic ocean. To the west of South America is the South pacific Ocean and to its east Lays the South Atlantic Ocean.
To the West of South America is the South Pacific, East is South Atlantic, South is the Southern Ocean (also known as the Antarctic Ocean or the Austral Ocean).
They are both on the Atlantic Ocean. South America's East Coast and Africa's West Coast are on the Atlantic.
Assuming the question was meant to be worded as follows: What continent can you not be found on if you are facing east and the pacific ocean is in front of you: Asia, Australia, or South America? The answer is South America. If on South America, and facing east, you would be facing toward the Atlantic Ocean. On the other hand, if on Asia or Australia and facing east, you would be facing toward the Pacific Ocean.
The Atlantic Ocean lies to the north (and east) of South America. You may also be thinking of the Caribbean Ocean that fills the Gulf of Mexico north of part of South America.
Africa and Australia can be reached by traveling directly east from points in South America, but for the most part Africa is to the east of South America.
