Šibenik is located just about in the center of the Croatian Adriatic coast, in the picturesque, indented ay that the Krka River, one of the most beautiful karst in Croatia, flows into. Today Šibenik is an administrative-political, economic and socio-cultural center of the Šibenik-Knin County, which spreads along the coast between the shores of Zadar and Split, approximately 100 km long, and its inland reaches as far as the Dinara Mountain, 45 km away.

The town of Brodarica is a small town 5km south of Sibenik. The townspeople mainly occupy themselves with tourism, fishing and digging for sea-sponges. Brodarica sits on the seaside and faces towards 9 islands and islets which make up a lagoon, as well as towards the Morin inlet which is a main spawning ground for different types of fish. The northern part of the inlet in Brodarica is rich in a special kind of mud which contains certain healing agents which help in treating certain ailments and because of this mud, health tourism is developing and expanding. Brodarica and its surrounding islands have stone and sandy beaches.
