Kabli sits on the main coastal road (E67) between Pärnu and Riga, about 60 km south of Pärnu and 110 km north of Riga. The drive from either direction is straightforward and fast — flat, well-paved, with light traffic outside summer weekends. Buses on the Riga–Pärnu–Tallinn line stop at Kabli several times a day, taking about an hour and a quarter from Pärnu or three from Riga.
The nearest airport is Pärnu Airport, which has only seasonal small-aircraft service. Most visitors fly into Tallinn or Riga and drive or bus down. Once in Kabli, getting around is on foot or by bike — distances within the village are small, and the bird station, beach, and museum can all be reached without a car.
