Ploče: Webcam - Riva and the Cathedral
Among the places of Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Ploče stands out for its role as a working Adriatic port beside the Neretva Delta. The town occupies a sheltered section of coast between the delta’s lowlands and the Baćina Lakes, a chain of lakes northwest of the centre. Its port is an important Croatian maritime link for cargo moving to and from Bosnia and Herzegovina, with rail and road connections inland. Ploče developed largely during the second half of the 20th century around this transport function, which gives the town a modern, practical character. A marina, broad streets and the parish church shape its waterfront centre, apart from the industrial quays. The ferry route to Trpanj crosses the Pelješac Channel, while the nearby delta combines wetlands with cultivated land.

Ploče combines the purposeful rhythm of a working Adriatic port with the stillness of nearby lakes and wetlands in a way that reflects its position between the sea and the Neretva valley. The town developed as a modern port settlement, and the Port of Ploče remains an important freight connection between Croatia’s coast and the interior of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Just northwest, the Baćina Lakes form a group of interconnected freshwater and brackish lakes beneath steep coastal hills; southeast lie the channels and cultivated fields of the Neretva Delta. This is a practical corner of Dalmatia, where shipping, fishing and agriculture meet along the Adriatic.

Shaped by the sea routes of the southern Adriatic, Dubrovnik-Neretva County grew into Croatia’s southernmost county. Its territory is notably fragmented: the walled city of Dubrovnik faces the Adriatic, while the Pelješac Peninsula and the islands of Korčula, Mljet and Lastovo extend along the coast. The Neretva River reaches the sea north of Pelješac, forming Croatia’s best-known delta landscape. Dubrovnik’s Old City, once the centre of the Republic of Ragusa, is enclosed by renowned defensive walls and is UNESCO-listed. Mljet brings a quieter, wooded island character, centred on a national park with saltwater lakes. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Dubrovnik-Neretva County.

Croatia occupies a long Adriatic coastline in southeastern Europe. Its shore is broken into islands and sheltered coves, while the Dinaric Alps rise inland and the Danube forms part of its eastern border. Dubrovnik’s fortified old city faces the sea, and Split grew around Diocletian’s Palace, a Roman complex begun in the early fourth century. Inland, Plitvice Lakes National Park is known for terraced lakes linked by waterfalls and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Istrian olive groves, Zagreb and Slavonia’s vineyards reveal distinct regional identities.
