The best beach is a lively playground, offering a variety of seawater pools for all ages. This popular beach features adult pools, including a shallow dance pool with knee-deep water, creating a hub of entertainment. This particular pool has its own bar, Thai-style sun umbrellas, and a vibrant atmosphere with loud, invigorating music. Visitors can sip on alcoholic beverages, dance, and unwind while enjoying performances by stunning, energetic dancers. One of the best things about this beach is its foam cannon, which adds to the exhilarating experience. Changing facilities are conveniently located throughout the area, ensuring comfort and privacy. While most showers operate on a coin system, they are well-maintained and easily accessible. For those looking for the best place to relax, stylish loungers with comfortable cushions are available in abundance and at affordable rates. At around €5 per day for a lounger with an umbrella, Ploce offers unmatched value for a premium beach experience. Sunbeds here are always paid, starting from the very beginning of the season. I have been coming here for several years in early May and have always paid for a spot. If you're planning a visit, keep in mind that whether it's the start or peak of the season, enjoying this well-equipped beach comes with a small fee, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing experience by the sea.

You can reach the beach by car (4.04 mi), by bus, or by a scheduled boat taxi service from Budva. The water taxi schedule remains consistent each year and is as follows: From Budva (boat: Laguna, Riva, Poseidon, Hakunamatata) from restaurant "Jadran": 9:00, 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, 11:30, 12:00, 12:30, 13:00, 13:30, 14:00, 14:30, 15:00, 15:30, 16:00, 16:30, 17:00, 18:00.

Most locals and guests arrive in their own or rented cars, as well as by means of a boat provided by the beach administration. The journey on the boat to Ploce is as enjoyable as the destination itself. The water here is slightly cooler compared to the sheltered bays of Budva, owing to its open sea location, but it's refreshing and invigorating, especially on hot summer days.
Buses depart from the center of Budva, at the roundabout opposite Café Perla, during the following time frames: 08:00, 09:30, 11:00, 12:30, 14:00, 16:15, 17:45, 19:15.

Parking at Ploce Beach
There is a large, well-maintained parking area available for visitors at Ploce Beach. Upon arrival, attendants will greet you and guide you to available spaces. Parking is free for all beach visitors, which is a great advantage for those coming to relax. However, it's important to note that despite the parking area being spacious, it can fill up quickly during peak season. If you want to secure a spot here, it's best to arrive as early as possible, ideally when the beach opens. Additionally, if you arrive late and find the main parking lot full, there is an unofficial parking area behind the beach, including along the road leading to it. Keep in mind that this alternative parking is not maintained or monitored. I will leave a map of the parking location at the beach below.
