Unlike most other old coastal settlements characterized by compact houses with narrow winding streets, the shape of Stara Baška in which the houses are considerably distant from each other, is conditioned by the terrain on which the village is located. These are steep slopes on which the possibility is built narrowed to a narrow area along the coast and only in certain localities of the belt. At the end of Stara Baška is the beach Zala. Above the beach is the ruins of the church of St. Jerome.

The place is located in the eponymous bay of the open type, but which the mentioned hills protect from the bora, and the peninsula Klobučac, protected from the south. Nevertheless, Stara Baška is one of the windiest parts of the island.

Stara Baška was founded in the 14th century as a settlement of refugees before the Turkish invasions, where they founded their own pastoral village at the end of the island. Until the second half of the 17th century, it was called Kraj or Pod Kraj, and the locals called it Krajanima. From the 17th century, the present name Stara Baška began to be used, although in fact Baška is older than Stara Baška at the time of its origin. Until 1886, the village belonged to the municipality of Baška, however, then the municipality of Punat was founded. Stara Baška is annexed to that municipality, although it is closer to Baška by air. The reason for this is that the road to Baška crosses high and steep hills and is difficult to pass, and impossible for a car, while the connection with Punat is much better. Even today, there is only one road leading to Stara Baška, from Punat.
