The beginning of tourism started at the end of the 20s of the last century. During the summer, 500 tourists mostly from Czech Republic and Germany visited Sukošan. They were the ones who named the unique beach with shallow sea „Dječji raj“(Children’s paradise).These were the times when the first pensions in the town were opened, so that we can say that in 1938 began an organized reception of tourists. The first tourist association in this area was founded in Sukošan in 1957.
