The island is easily spotted from the city centre and from Likas Bay.

It has a northeast–southwest orientation and therefore commands a view of Gaya Bay on the eastern shoreline.

The island has two main peaks and is covered in thick tropical rainforest.

This island can be accessed by the jetty near the city centre or from Sepanggar Bay, near the navy base.

This island is known to be where several World War II bombs have been found.
