It lies near the middle of the entrance of Semangka Bay, relatively steep and densely wooded. It rises in its south-eastern part to a height of 671m and is said to "appear sharp from S or N. Except on the NE side."[2] Its principal settlement is the village of Sawangbalak, located on the extreme northern tip of the island.[3] The island is noted for its white beaches.[4] About 40 kilometres to the east is Legundi Island.
Internet access is unavailable and the telephone access is unstable in this island.[5] A Rp18 billion pier was constructed in 2013 by the Ministry of Transportation but because most fishermen use small boats the pier is unmaintained and unused.[6]
