history
The place was founded in 1945. After the tarred coastal road Ruta Provincial 11, it quickly developed into one of the most popular seaside resorts in the region . At the end of the 1990s, the seaside resort made headlines around the world due to the arrest and extradition of Dinko Šakić , a former Croatian concentration camp commandant of the Jasenovac and Stara Gradiška concentration camps run by the Ustasha , as well as convicted war criminals. Before that, he had lived there undisturbed for more than 50 years with his wife Nada Šakić and their children.
