Location

The village is located in the eastern part of the county, on the shore of Keszthely Bay. It is bordered by Balaton to the south and the hills of the Keszthely Plateau to the north, so it is mainly open in an east-west direction.

On land, it has only two neighboring towns: Balatongyörök to the east and Gyenesdiás to the west (the areas to the north also belong to these two towns). Through its Balaton water areas, it also borders Balatonberény to the south.
