To the north is Carlingford Lough and the border with Northern Ireland; to the south is Dundalk Bay. The peninsula is ringed by the R173 regional road.
The peninsula is geologically diverse, with 440 million year old Silurian greywacke sandstones in the north west and south west, 340 million year old limestones in the east, and 60 million year old volcanic rocks forming the Cooley Mountains.
