Loch na Gainimh lies close to the coast in West Sutherland, a low-lying water set among open ground not far from the sea. It is a small, shallow loch of roughly 31 hectares, averaging about 5 metres in depth. The water has moderate alkalinity and the outline is simple, with gently curving margins.

Access is by a short walk from the west. The route trends north-east for a little over a kilometre, climbing only slightly by around twenty metres, to reach the west side of the loch.
