They are going to the Undying Lands, a mystical land home to the Valar

At the end of *The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King*, Frodo, Gandalf, Bilbo and some others leave Middle-earth by ship for the Undying Lands, a mystical land home to the Valar, 'angelic' beings, also known as the 'masters of spirits'.

Frodo, Gandalf, Bilbo, Elrond, Celeborn, and Galadriel are among the very few mortal beings to be allowed passage to the Undying Lands. They are joined by Círdan the Shipwright, who accompanies them on their voyage.

The Undying Lands are considered a place of rest for those who bore the ring of power. Frodo, in particular, is scarred by his journey to Mordor, both physically and emotionally, and will never fully heal. Arwen gives him her seat on the last ship so that he can find peace.

While Gimli, Legolas, Samwise Gamgee, and eventually even Aragorn are also said to have made the journey to the Undying Lands, the Hobbits and Dwarves, as mortals, cannot live forever. They will live long, sheltered, contented lives, until they choose to "move on" and die.
