The town is situated in the west of the département, between Notre-Dame-de-Monts and Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez. It is split in two by a long plantation of pine trees, stretching from north to south along the coast. The 'centre-ville' (down town) lies to the east of the cordon, while the seafront forms a lively center to the west.
Saint-Jean-de-Monts is renowned for its sandy beach, more than eight kilometers long. Due to its often low tides, it offers a great area for walkers, fishermen, and beach games.
The predominantly flat terrain has allowed for the development of a vast 500 km² network of cyclepaths, known as the 'Sentiers Cyclables de la Vendée'. These paths stretch from the island of Noirmoutier in the north, south past Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie.
