The Serranilla Bank, measuring 40 km in length and 32 km in width, is a mostly submerged carbonate platform located 110 km west from the reefs of the Bajo Nuevo (New Bank) and around 400 km northeast from Isla de San Andrés.
The entire bank covers an area in excess of 1,200 km².
Several small cays are found on the eastern side of the bank — Beacon Cay (the largest), West Breaker, Middle Cay, and East Cay.

 Lighthouses of Colombia
Colombia also administers the territory of San Andrés y Providencia, which includes a scattering of islands and banks in the southwestern corner of the Caribbean Sea, north of Panama and east of Nicaragua.
The Serrana and Roncador Banks were formerly claimed and occupied by the U.S.; the islands reverted to Colombia in 1981 after the U.S. gave up its claims in a 1972 treaty.
(The status of Serranilla Bank and Bajo Nuevo is less clear; the U.S. Department of State reiterated the American claim in December 2003, but that statement has now disappeared from the Department of the Interior's web site.) All these islands are also claimed by Nicaragua, and Bajo Nuevo, at least, is claimed by Jamaica.

The last sighting of the seal at the Keys was at Key West in 1922, and that animal was shot.
The last known sighting in the world was in 1952 on Serranilla Bank in the western Caribbean.
Wildlife biologist Karl W. Kenyon carried out a 4,000-mile aerial search for the seal in 1973, and wrote in May 1980: "My reluctant conclusion is that the Caribbean Monk Seal became extinct soon after the last one was observed in 1952" (Kenyon 1980).

We passed between the Serranilla Bank and Alice Shoal.
As we passed between the Bank and Shoal in waters 1200 meters deep, water can be seen breaking over the Shoals, and on a clear day a couple of old shipwrecks can be visible just above the water.
Once clear, we took a south-southwesterly course and went round the Roncador Bank at a minimum distance of 5 nautical miles and at this point head directly southwest taking us directly to Puerto Limon, Costa Rica.
