The town of Ploce, also known as a port, is situ-ated along the coast, but also partly on the river and the lakes, which makes its position quite a unique one. The nearby mouth of the Neretva and the freshwater Bacina Lakes are a challenge to sports fishing enthusiasts. The Neretva valley provides also hunting opportunities. Gastronomic specialities include Neretva-style fish stew ("brudet") and grilled eels.
