The location between Ihasalu Bay, Kaberneeme Bay and the Baltic Sea makes it particularly easy to understand Neeme's layout. The village is situated at the tip of the Ihasalu Peninsula and is surrounded by the sea on three sides. This means the location makes it possible to find a suitable bathing spot in any wind direction. When planning, it may be useful to choose bathing spots not only according to compass direction but also according to the particular stretch of coast you prefer.

The harbour is also part of the area's layout. Neeme Harbour is located on the eastern shore of the Ihasalu Peninsula in the village of Neeme. It is well protected from westerly winds, while it is somewhat more exposed to other wind directions than Kaberneeme Harbour. The harbour is particularly interesting for travellers who want to combine their stay with maritime activities.

At Neeme Marina, boats with a captain can be rented. The destinations or activities mentioned for a trip include small islands, seal watching and a cruise. This allows you to experience the water in different ways: You can focus on landscapes, wildlife observation or an outing without having to combine the experiences into a fixed route.

The marina has six berths for visiting boats. You should compare the specific accommodation conditions based on the details of each offer.

There are forest paths and natural hiking trails on the Ihasalu Peninsula and in Neeme. A guided tour on the 11-kilometre-long Neeme Road, the Ruu–Ihasalu highway, runs along the road and includes longer hikes on nature trails. This combination appeals to different interests: The tour combines a clearly named route with longer sections in nature.

There are further starting points for observing nature. Kadakaranna is designated as a species-rich natural area. At the Lühitneeme headland in Neeme, there is also a publicly accessible observation area considered small but highly diverse. In Neeme, there are opportunities to observe large bird species, including white-tailed eagles and swans. An old lighthouse is visible in the vicinity of Neeme and can be reached on foot from the village centre.

The first written references to Neeme date back to 1560. Fishing was the most important livelihood there for centuries. In the 19th century, the production of smoked fish became increasingly popular in Neeme. Those interested in the connection between the coast, work and local tradition can incorporate these historical aspects into their travel plans.

A cultural point of interest is Neeme Rahvamaja. It is located in a two-storey stone house designed by the architect August Volberg. The Ihasalu Cross and Prayer Bench commemorates a place where a chapel and a cemetery once stood. Traditional larger events in Neeme include Fishermen's Day, the St John's bonfire, Home Café Day, the Night of Ancient Bonfires and an autumn market.
