Located approximately 26 kilometers southwest of central Gyeongju, Sannae-myeon is a mountainous area, with elevations ranging from 200 to 550 meters above sea level. About 83% of the land is classified as forest. It borders Sangbuk-myeon of Ulju-gun, Ulsan to the south, Naenam-myeon of Gyeongju to the southeast, Unmun-myeon of Cheongdo County to the west, and Bukan-myeon of Yeongcheon to the north.

The Dongchangcheon stream flows through the township and eventually feeds into the Unmun Dam, a major water source for Daegu. Due to its mountainous environment, the area supports a variety of freshwater fish species, including lenok, Korean bullhead, minnows, and pond smelt.
