The island, which is surrounded by
Rawa,
Sibu and
Tinggi Island, is characterised by quiet, clean beaches of powdery white sand and crystal-clear azure waters. To preserve the unspoiled marine life, the Government has gazetted it as a marine park to protect around 60 species of marine life from any activities that can harm their natural habitats within around the island. The island's highest point rises some above the
sea level. Rich hues of wild vegetation are dappled throughout with the lush greens of the coconut palms and tropical jungles. ==Administrative divisions==
