The regency encompasses mountains, valleys, and coastal areas along the Indian Ocean, with 88 percent of its territory consisting of mountainous terrain.

The population primarily communicates in Javanese language and maintains traditional ceremonies across twelve administrative districts, each with distinct local customs.

The territory spans 1,389 square kilometers and contains seventeen beaches connected by the South Coast Road, linking Wonogiri and Trenggalek regions.

Luweng Jaran Cave system extends for 24 kilometers underground, making it the most extensive cave network documented in Indonesia since 2002.
