The village is located on the Skagerrak coast in the Eide area of southern Grimstad.

[2] The village includes the coastal protected recreational areas of Kalvehageneset and Hoveneset.

Hoveneset was sold by Magnus Nymann, a former village priest, to the local authority in order to protect it from development by holidaymakers as the local area is a popular place to own a holiday cabin.

This is commemorated by a small cairn near the shore inscribed with Bible verses and poetry by Thomas Kingo.

[3] The Homborsund Lighthouse lies a short distance off shore, on the island of Store Grønningen.
