Suchomasty is located about south of Beroun and southwest of Prague. It lies in the Hořovice Uplands. The highest point is the hill Lejškov at above sea level. In the centre of the village is the fishpond Mlýnský rybník. Half of the territory lies in the Bohemian Karst Protected Landscape Area, on the territory of which several small-scale protected areas are defined. The most important of them is the Klonk National Nature Monument, which is globally recognized as a geologically important location due to the presence of the Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point marking the boundary between Silurian and Devonian periods. Other small-scale protected areas are the nature reserves Na Voskopě and Kobyla. ==History==

The first written mention of Suchomasty is in a document from 1088, in which it is stated that King Vratislaus II gave the village of Suchomasty and two plow yards to the newly founded Vyšehrad Chapter. The owners of the village changed often and included various less important noble families. ==Demographics==
