Taranganba is set back from Keppel Bay on a low broad hill that overlooks Cooee Bay and Yeppoon. It is centrally located on the Capricorn Coast, 3 km (1.9 mi) south of Yeppoon, and 16 km (9.9 mi) north of Emu Park.

Taranganba is often regarded as a suburb of the town of Yeppoon. Like its neighbouring suburb Cooee Bay, Taranganba is separated from Yeppoon by Ross Creek .

The Scenic Highway (State Route 4) runs along the eastern boundary. [4]

Taranganba is largely residential with most homes being built since the 1970s. Cedar Park at Taranganba is the central shopping district for the area, and travelling from Yeppoon, it is the last significant shopping precinct until Emu Park. [5]
