[4] Sarfannguit is located on the eastern promontory of an island of the same name,[5] approximately 36 km (22 mi) east of Sisimiut, facing the mainland of Greenland across the Imartuninnguaq Strait, at this point only 200 m (660 ft)[5] wide.

The wind turbine is 10 m (33 ft) tall, providing 6,000 liter of petrol worth of savings per month for the village.

[7] There are no helicopter services to coastal settlements of Davis Strait in the Qeqqata and Sermersooq municipalities.

The AIP references a 20m round helipad (ICAO code: BGSA) with gravel surface[8] at Sarfannguit.

Royal Arctic Line provides weekly ferry services to Itilleq and Sisimiut,[9] a port of call for the Arctic Umiaq Line, with connections to Ilulissat and Aasiaat in the Disko Bay region, and to coastal towns in southwestern and southern Greenland.
