Der bor ca. 25 indbyggere i idylliske Kikhavn. Om sommeren er der endnu flere, som vil opleve Kikhavn, så indbyggertallet runder ca. 700 personer.

For at bevare Kikhavns enestående karakter og særlige stemning for eftertiden, beder byen besøgende respektere nogle få forholdsregler: Bilkørsel gennem byens snævre, kringlede stræder er af gode grunde ikke tilladt. Parkér bilen på P-pladsen lige udenfor byen og oplev Kikhavn til fods.
Vær med til at værne om det kostbare dige- og kystsikringsanlæg, som beskytter byen mod stormflodskatastrofer. Benyt kun de anlagte stier og overgange. Fjern ikke sand, sten, beplantning mv. fra stranden og anlæggene. Det er naturligvis forbudt. Undlad brug af åben ild i nærheden af Kikhavns fine, gamle og meget brandbare, stråtækte gårde og huse.
