Situated on the eastern coast, it lies approximately 5 miles south of the town of Lowestoft and 110 miles northeast of London. The parish covers an area of around 4 square miles and is nestled between the North Sea to the east and a large expanse of farmland to the west.

South Cove is a small, rural community with a population of fewer than 100 residents. The parish is characterized by its picturesque countryside, rolling hills, and scenic coastal views. It is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and outdoor activities, offering opportunities for walking, birdwatching, and exploring the nearby coastal paths.
