Moe is located in the Latrobe Valley between Trafalgar and Morwell, within a region where electricity generation and dairying are the main local industries.

The commercial centre of Moe spans a grid layout of streets north of the railway station, offering extensive shopping facilities. The town's major tourist attraction is Old Gippstown, which is a recreated pioneer township located at the western entrance to the town, featuring authentic buildings and other historic displays.

Moe is noted for its parks, gardens and recreational facilities. To the east of the shopping precinct are the town's attractive botanic gardens which Narracan Creek flows through. There are rose gardens located along the railway line near the roundabout at Lloyd Street and Anzac Street. The Joe Tabuteau Reserve, on Waterloo Road just to the west of the commercial centre, is home to the Moe Racing Club where the popular GPG Mobil Moe Cup is held.

Lake Narracan, to the north of Moe, was originally created as part of the Yallourn Power station facilities. These days, this freshwater lake is a popular recreational destination for activities such as water skiing, boating and fishing.

Moe is a handy base for exploring some of the attractions in the nearby area. A 15 minute drive north-west of town is the Blue Rock Dam with its abundance of fish, surrounded by bushland. The historic goldmining town of Walhalla is around an hour from Moe, located in a deep ravine and offering a glimpse into the past. Lake Thomson, also about an hour drive north of Moe, supplies much of Melbourne's water supply.
