The Rogoznica coastline stretches for more than 50 km. Coves and small islands alternate with pine forests and pebble or rocky beaches.

A notable natural site is Zmajevo oko on the Gradina peninsula. The saltwater lake is surrounded by sheer cliffs between 4 and 24 metres high. Its maximum recorded depth is about 15 metres.

Rogoznica is also home to Labirint Lavande city park, with walking paths through lavender.

The historic town centre is on the small island of Kopara. An artificial causeway connects the island to the mainland. Old stone houses and narrow streets shape the townscape and give the centre a different character from the open coastal landscape.
