Cayo Batata is an uninhabited, grass-covered island, located at coord|18|06|56|N|65|46|17|W|, 600 m east of "Morro de Humacao", the closest mainland feature (which is immediately south of the mouth of Río Humacao), in Humacao, Puerto Rico. The island is rectangular with sides between 60 and 70 m in length. It is up to 12.1 m high. The area is 4,679 m², or 1.16 acres (Block 3060, Block Group 3, Census Tract 1805, Humacao Municipio, Puerto Rico). The island is part of "Río Abajo" barrio of Humacao.

A bare ledge, with five rocks and a reef, called "Caballo Blanco" (literally, White Horse, not to be confused with the islet of same name northwest of Vieques), awash and steep-to, is located 150 to 300 meters east and south of Cayo Batata.

Cayo Santiago (Monkey Island), the second island belonging to Humacao, is located 5.7 km to the northeast.
