In Primošten, fishing has always been a means of sustenance. The statue of the fisherman reminds us of the hard life fishermen had, particularly when working with fishing nets, as was usually done in the past. By the fisherman’s feet there is a cat longingly looking at the fisherman and patiently waiting for its dinner as he empties his nets.

The fisherman and the cat have become an attraction by the beach and tourists often take their photo with the beautiful view of the Old Town of Primošten in the background.

In the past, fishermen had to be skilled in forecasting the weather. Before going out to sea, they had to know, among many other things, if the wind would change direction, so, as yet another symbol of the respect the people of Primošten have today for the fishermen of the past, a wind rose has been made on the path along the sea near the statue of the fisherman. If you like, you can check the wind direction while strolling by the beach.
