To travel between the villages of Lahemaa National Park and from the highway, or from Tallinn or Rakvere, not so frequent buses are available. See Estonia, which also covers connections with interchange, especially Paetus.ee. It makes sense to first take a bus to Rakvere and then on to Käsmu.

The beach is the biggest attraction of the village. There are also camp trails in the woods.

Every July there is a popular folk music festival in the village.
