The inhabitants are mostly occupied with agriculture, fishing and stone carving.  Besides the fresh fish specialties, guests can indulge in the home grown foods and delicious wines that the fertile soil in the hinterland provides.  Near the town there are numerous, beautiful bays apt for bathing. The most popular are Prvja and Lovrecina.
The parish church was built in the 16th century.  East of Postira, in the Lovrecina bay, there are ruins of an Early Christian basilica dating from the 5th/6th century; two Early Christian sarcophagi and fragments of Roman plastics are found next to it.
