Kaugatoma is located on the eastern coast of Kaugatoma Bay (part of the Baltic Sea) where a 2.5 metres (8.2 ft) high and 1.125 kilometres (0.699 mi) long Kaugatoma cliff is situated.
Before the administrative reform in 2017, the village was in Salme Parish.[3] During the reform, village of Mõisaküla was merged into village of Kaugatoma. Formerly (1977–1997), Mõisaküla was also part of Kaugatoma, but 1997–2017 it was a standalone village.[4]
