The settlement consists of two parts: the old village on the mountain, known for its vineyards and the historic Church of the Assumption, and the modern coastal section. The combination of steep mountains and azure sea makes this place visually spectacular. The beaches of Lokva Rogoznica, especially Artina beach, are considered some of the cleanest and most beautiful in the region, with natural shade from pine trees. A unique feature is the 'Vruja', a nearby underwater spring that provides exceptionally cool and clear water. The area is good for hikes to the peaks of Omiška Dinara or water sports in Omiš. Gastronomy here is dominated by viticulture and fishing. Proximty to the coastal road 'Magistrala' allows for easy access, while the hillside location guarantees peace.
