Mangrove Point is on the northeast tip of Nusa Lembongan, beside a mangrove estuary. Nutrients from there make the fish on this hard-coral slope dense. The surface is more sheltered than the south coast of Nusa Penida.
The depth is about 4–22 m, and this site map lists it to about 30 m. The current is usually gentle. The temperature is often 26–28°C. Entry is by boat. Green turtles often rest on ledges at 6–12 m.
