The municipality is situated in the northwestern part of the [[Varanger Peninsula]], facing the open [[Barents Sea]] to the north and the [[Tanafjorden]] to the west. It is an isolated and barren region with mostly rocks and tundra. There are no native trees in Berlevåg because of the cold and windy summers. The municipality also contains the lakes [[Geatnjajávri]] and [[Skonsvikvatnan]]. The highest point in the municipality is the {{convert|619|m|adj=on}} tall mountain Hanglefjellet.<ref name="elev" />

===Climate===
Berlevåg's coastal location serves to moderate temperatures during winter, giving it a marine subarctic climate. Coldest month is February with mean {{convert|-4.6|C|F|0}}, while warmest month is July and August, both with mean {{convert|10.4|C|F|0}}.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Weather statistics for Berlevåg as a table - Last 13 months |url=https://www.yr.no/en/statistics/table/5-98090/Norway/Troms%20og%20Finnmark/Berlev%C3%A5g/Berlev%C3%A5g}}</ref>

===Birdlife===
The sea and the [[island]]s along this part of Finnmark's coastline are home for thousands of [[seabird]]s. As well as the large seabird colonies with thousands of nesting birds, there are also areas of unspoiled nature consisting of [[mountain]]s, [[moorland]]s, and [[marsh]]es. This enables [[birdwatching]] in a natural environment. A 17,855&nbsp;ha area of marine waters along the coast, including [[supralittoral zone|supralittoral]] and [[neritic zone|neritic]] habitats, has been designated an [[Important Bird Area]] (IBA) by [[BirdLife International]] because it supports a population of [[Steller's eider]]s.<ref name=bli>{{Cite web |last=<!--Not stated--> |date=2021 |title=Berlevåg |url=http://datazone.birdlife.org/site/factsheet/berlev%C3%A5g-iba-norway |access-date=2021-12-05 |website=BirdLife Data Zone |publisher=BirdLife International}}</ref>
