The place itself was named after its sand. Its sandy beaches cover an area of about 20 km, from the oldest Croatian town Nin over Sabunike to the island of Vir. It is the region of warm, shallow and long sandy lagoons positioned far away from the roads and traffic jam.

The shallowness of the water and the fact that the place is drawn in the land enables the temperature to rise by 2 to 3 degrees, which means there is the difference in temperature between this part of the coast and the high seas. All this contributes to the developing of aerosols and salts.
