Zablace is situated along the coast, 8km south of Sibenik. It was first mentioned in 1432 as the medieval Zablace was known for its salt works from which today only names remained: Velika jezera (Big lakes) and Mala solina (Small salt works). This area is rich in therapeutic mud used in healing the rheumatisms.

During the Turkish invasions into this area, Zablace was twice completely destroyed, in 1510 and 1537. Because of that, the main occupation of the inhabitants - the salt production ceased production. When the Turks retreated, the inhabitants of Zablace restore their village and start with fishing, cattle breeding and agriculture. Many inhabitants emigrated to America. Nowadays, besides the traditional occupations, tourism becomes very important part of the economy of Zablace.

Unusual but pleasant mixture of the old fishermen houses and luxurious villas built by the descendants of the American emigrants make Zablace unique. A quiet coastal village offers accomodation in private rooms, apartments and in camping site situated in a thick pine forest. A spacious concrete beach receives many sun bathers especially from Sibenik as the open sea is very favourable for wind surfing and the discoteque offers the entertainment till small hours. Other various events are organised in nearby Hotel resort Solaris and in Sibenik which make Zablace one of quality touristic destinations.
