The island is described as being roughly boat shaped, with the mountain at the blunt end. The island slopes gradually through jungle towards the pointed end, where it terminates in a rocky outcrop, almost a separate small island, which is connected to the main island by a narrow causeway. On one side the island has a rocky shoreline bordering open ocean. The other side of the island has a sandy beach and is protected by a coral reef, which runs almost parallel to the shore and encloses a lagoon. There is a shelf of pink rock which projects through the jungle, across the beach and juts into the lagoon. It has a level surface topped by a shallow layer of soil which supports some palms which are inclined to fall over when they have reached a certain height. The boys call this natural jetty the platform and use it to hold there meetings. There is a natural 'bathing pool' close to the platform and a little further along from the platform, heading towards the pointed end of the island, there is a small stream. There are groves of fruit trees in the jungle and wild pigs. The boys also catch and eat fish and crabs from the lagoon.
