The island is located across the mouth of the River Olekte. Krūmiņsala is a part of the neighborhood of Katlakalns. It is 0.5 km long and 0.14 km wide, with an average height of 2-2,5 metres above the water level of Daugava.
The island is uninhabited, covered with trees and shrubs. As a separate island, Krūmiņsala has existed at least since the mid-17th century.
It is possible to reach the island by means of a boat berth installed in the summer of 2020.[2] Cultural events have been held on the island since 2021 by the organizers of the Sansusī chamber music festival.[3][4]
