The cape forms the eastern point of the island of Rügen and the district of Vorpommern-Rügen. The roughly  long headland has the shape of an isosceles triangle, which ends in a roughly  high wooded cliff at its tip.

The counterpart to the Nordperd is the Südperd, the southeast tip of Rügen in the municipality of Thiessow. Between the Nordperd and the Südperd,  away, are the flat sandy beaches of the  Mönchgut peninsula, interrupted by the -high cliff at .
