The island is 166.39 km (103 mi; 90 nmi) north of the country's capital, Malé.

The main source of the community's income comes from the lobster and Sea cucumber trade, fishing, agriculture, masonry, thatch weaving and rope making.

There is one pre-school, which is owned and run by the public and backed by Maakurathu Sports Club, which provides education for lower and upper kindergarten.

There are three mosques on the island, one for men and two for women: Majid-Al-Salaam, Masjid-Al-Anwaar and Masjid-Al-(******).
