Located in the northeast of the reef, the island is a small Oxbow shaped sandbank with flat terrain, high in the north and low in the south, with an average altitude of about 1 meter. The area of the island is small and the sand bank is not wide, so the fresh water content of the island is not much.

Depressions occur in the southern part of the island and can be submerged by the sea at high tide. The terrain of the island is not high, and the sand ridge is only about 1 meter out of the water. Therefore, it is often regarded as a new sandbank just coming out of the water.
