It is situated on the northern coast of the Gulf of Finland, northeast of Tallinn, and forms part of the Tallinn metropolitan area. The village lies within Viimsi Municipality, and since the 2017 administrative reform it has been one of the settlements in the parish.

Haabneeme is primarily a residential community with local services serving residents of the area. The coast features a small harbour used by recreational boats and a beach area that is popular in the summer. The surrounding landscape includes forests and marshy areas typical of the Viimsi coast.
