Kakumäe, Residential subdistrict on Kakumäe Peninsula in Tallinn, Estonia.
Kakumäe is a residential neighborhood on a peninsula in Tallinn Bay that extends along coastal cliffs and sandy stretches. The area features tree-lined streets with detached homes and apartment buildings spread across several kilometers along the shoreline.
The area developed from a small seaside resort in the early 20th century into an affluent residential neighborhood. This transformation shaped the current character of the district with established residential streets and stable communities.
The community gathers annually for a home cafe event where residents open their houses to share homemade dishes and local cooking traditions. This gathering reflects how neighborhoods here maintain connections through food and hospitality.
Regular bus connections link the neighborhood with central Tallinn, with services running throughout the day and evening. The main road runs through the district, making navigation straightforward for visitors and residents.
The small island of Liivakari near the cape creates a natural barrier that breaks waves and protects the bay. This formation makes the coastline here distinct from other Tallinn beaches.
