==Geography==
Rasa Island is a large irregular mangrove swamp on a coral reef that extends about beyond the island at its southwest and northeast ends.〔 It is located about from Casuarina Point and forms the northeastern side of Mantaquin Bay.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=United States coast pilot, Philippine Islands )〕 Only one-third of the island is permanently dry with the remaining two-thirds exposed to the occasional tides.〔 To its north lie Arena Island and other small coralline islands on the coast of Aborlan. To the south across the Mantaquin Bay are Linda and Emelina islands.
Rasa Island is administered as part of the Narra barangay of Panacan. It is just north of the Narra poblacion and approximately south of Palawan's provincial capital, Puerto Princesa.
