The place was first mentioned in writing in 1827 as Bugaz (means something like "quicksand"), and since 1965 it has had the status of an urban-type settlement. On September 21, 1851, a lighthouse was built for shipping into the Liman, it was reconstructed in 1877 and the wooden construction improved. As early as the First World War , the rail link from Odessa to Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyj was realized via railway ferries, in 1917 a train station with a connection to the port was built as an extension of the railway line to Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyj . In the interwar period, the place then belonged to Romania , due to the location, a tuberculosis sanatorium was opened in 1936, financed with funds from the League of Nations . During the Second World War , Bugaz was briefly occupied by the Soviet Union between 1940 and 1941, then came back to Romania and was finally annexed by the Soviet Union in 1944, since then it has been part of the Ukrainian SSR and since 1991 part of today's Ukraine. Between December 25, 1953 and December 5, 1955, a combined road and rail bridge was built instead of the previously existing wooden and pontoon bridges and the railway line from Odessa to Ismajil and Basarabeasca was reopened.

Because of its location on the Black Sea, Zatoka has developed into a popular spa and bathing resort; the place now stretches along a longer stretch of the coast.
