It lies 39.1 km west-south-west of Sydney, NS (from Sydney, NS: bearing 236°T), and is situated 7.6 km west-north-west of Big Pond.

Further inland, the terrain shifts toward the rugged beauty of MacIsaacs Brook Falls at 17 km, and the recreational expanse of Ben Eoin Provincial Park lies 12 km from the heart of the settlement. Eskasoni stands as the largest Mi’kmaw community in the world, serving as a center for the preservation of language, ceremony, and the deep-rooted traditions of the Mi’kmaq people.
