Šušanj is protected from all sides by the forested slopes of Mount Rumia, so the Adriatic Sea coast in this place warms up much earlier - a lot of sun and little wind attract vacationers here from early spring to late autumn.

On the territory of Šušanj, there is the famous Žukotrlica beach, named after the Spanish broom, a plant that the Montenegrins themselves call žukva.

In summer the town has many tourists staying in local accommodation; bars, restaurants and shops are open throughout the warmer months.

Just three decades ago, on the site of today's resort, there was a field where local farmers grew Greek and Italian olives.

After the expansion of Bar, the inhabitants of Old Pristan settled here, and the rapidly growing town actually became the northern suburb of a large municipality.
