Edgewater is located southwest of Annapolis on the south side of the tidal South River. It is bordered by Mayo to the east and Riva to the west. To the north, across the South River, are the communities of Parole and Annapolis Neck.

Maryland Route 2 (Solomons Island Road) is the main north-south road through the community, leading north across the South River Bridge to Annapolis and south to Prince Frederick and beyond. Maryland Route 214 (Central Avenue) intersects MD 2 and forms the southern boundary of the CDP. Maryland Route 253 (Mayo Road) curves through the center of the CDP, connecting Routes 2 and 214.
