The village is located along the Ullsfjorden on the Lyngen peninsula, about 35 kilometres (22 mi) east of the city of Tromsø, but it is about 100 kilometres (62 mi) to drive there.

The village has road access via the Fv293 road to the village of Lakselvbukt to the south and further to the European route E8 highway. Before the road was built in the 1970s a ferry went from Jøvik to Breivikeidet.
