The settlement and the port are situated in the bay of Stari grad (Starigradski zaljev). Smaller bays within the main one are suitable for anchorage and are protected from the winds (Zavala and Tiha from bora, Gradiste, Saint Ante and Maslinica from southern wind).

Tvrdalj, a fortified summer villa that belonged to the poet Petar Hektorovic, is situated in the middle of the town in front of which is the monument of Petar Hektorovic. Within Tvrdalj is a fishery where sea and fresh water from the spring are mixed, as well as a ethnographic collection of artefacts typical for Croatian kitchens and cellars. Near the villa is a Renaissance church of Saint Rok from the 16th century. In the Dominican monastery an old library is kept, with a collection of paintings, fossils and a numismatic collection. In the vicinity is also a small church of Saint Nikola with a wooden gold plated altar. The square Skor, modelled during baroque times is situated in the eastern part of the town.
