Wales has a state-owned gravel airstrip with scheduled air service and charter flights. Household goods are flown into the village. There is a 6.5-mile road to Tin City. Heavy freight and cargo is delivered to Tin City by barge and hauled by truck to Wales. Snow machines are used in winter. A winter trail connects Wales to the communities of Brevig Mission, located 50 miles away, and Shishmaref, located 70 miles away. Aluminum boats are used for sea travel. On land, snowmobiles and ATVs provide year-round access to subsistence areas. In previous years, fall storms have caused some flooding and damage due to high winds. The beach is used as a road by the 4-wheelers to go from one end of town to another and also to go up the coast to the first inlet.
