Local transportation is done by small boat, small aircraft, ATV, or snow machine. The community is connected by a system of sand and gravel roads, and wooden boardwalks. Trails in the area are utilized for subsistence activities, and winter trails connect to Hooper Bay (17 miles), Scammon Bay (25 miles), and Newtok (50 miles). The airport, completed in 2006, is owned and maintained by the State of Alaska. The airstrip provides regional charter and private air access year-round. As of 2014, the community was seeking funds to widen and extend the runway. Seaplanes have the use of a dock. Each spring the community experiences flooding that adversely affects major traffic areas within town.
