Saint Andrews is on the east side of Mainland,[2] and extends from the eastern boundary of Kirkwall parish to the sea, and includes the island of Kirkholm.[2]

The land is mostly flat, but has diversities of surface, and rises nowhere higher than 350 ft.[2] The coast includes both sandy beach and precipitous rock, and has a large sea cavern.[2]
