Lelu Island covers an area of about 4.5 square kilometers and has a typical tropical maritime climate. The island is rich in marine ecosystems with dense mangroves and coconut groves, surrounded by coral reefs. Its unique geographical location makes it an important site for observing marine biodiversity in the Pacific Ocean.

The island retains a traditional chiefly system, and Yap and English are still spoken by the inhabitants. Local handicrafts and traditional dances are important cultural expressions.
