From the southern side of Brodarica (from Split direction) the main road (Adriatic coast) passes across the Morinje bay which is the place of fish spawning, and whose mixed sea- and fresh-water provides cultivation of shells. North part of this bay is rich with layers of healing mud, which more and more encourages development of health tourism.
