The area is known for its maritime connections. Rohuküla Port is a significant ferry terminal, serving as a departure and arrival point for ferries traveling to the nearby islands of Hiiumaa and Vormsi. This port plays a crucial role in connecting the mainland with these islands, facilitating both passenger and cargo transport.

Beyond the port, the village itself is sparsely populated, with a few residential buildings and the necessary support infrastructure for the port operations. The village is accessible by road, with connections leading to Haapsalu and other surrounding areas. Its strategic location as a ferry hub makes it an important point of transit for many people traveling to and from the islands.
