From ancient times Zaton was known by boatmen, fishermen and agriculturists, so here it can be found some good drops of vine ('Babic', 'Plavina', 'Rose', and dessert vine 'Prosek'), and sweet fig with juicy olive, that still today, rips under golden Mediterranean sun. Fishermen are hunting sea and river fish, and because of specific mix of sea and river water, here can be found some specific kinds of fish and shells.

Nice walkway close to the sea, spreads about three kilometers, from the bay of 'Dobri dolac' to the bay of 'sarina draga'. In the small harbour the wind is not a problem.
