The Rogoznica peninsula is situated on the far southeastern
part of the county of Šibenik and Knin. The well-indented
bay of Rogoznica is completely protected by the Ražanj
peninsula and the island of Smokvica from the eastern,
southern and southwestern side, while its western shore
is exposed to the influence of open sea.
Safe anchorage made Rogoznica especially important
even for the ancient seamen and passengers on the Adriatic
coast. You just have to see the Rogoznica port full
of fishing boats, trawlers and yachts while strong
south wind and northeastern wind blow.
The Rogoznica peninsula has special climatic characteristics
distinguishing it very much from the Šibenik littoral
to which it belongs. Here is the boundary between the
mild and warm climate of the southeast and harsh and
severe climate of the north and northwest. Due to relatively
short periods of cloud the climate is pretty dry and
the level of insulation is high, which favours tourism.
The parish church and church tower overlook the town.
On the Gradina peninsula is situated the Zmajevo oko
lake, which is a lake with seawater. This lake is considered
to be a natural bioreactor in which biochemical processes
take place. Right next to this phenomenon, in the cove
of Soline a port for nautical tourism was built. It
is a first-class port with numerous programs for tourists
and 400 berths.
