Saint Clair Shores is located in southeastern Macomb County along the shore of Lake St. Clair, bordered by Eastpointe to the west, Roseville to the northwest, and the Grosse Pointes to the south.

An extensive Lake St. Clair shoreline, several public boat launches, and a strong boating and marina culture shape much of local life, and Nine Mile Road and Jefferson Avenue offer a steady selection of restaurants and shops. Boating remains one of the defining activities of the city. South Lake Schools and Lakeview Public Schools serve different areas of the city, giving residents options depending on location. Neighborhoods feature a mix of canal front homes, ranch style houses, and newer condo developments, giving the city a range of housing types tied closely to its waterfront geography.
