The area is defined by its position on Tremadog Bay, with a historic castle standing on a headland between two beaches.

The landscape includes farmland and lower slopes leading to the shoreline. The ward contains distinct areas like the Morfa housing estate and the quieter hamlet of Gwynfryn inland.
