Staying in Ploče puts St. Jakov Beach at the bottom of your street rather than across town. The apartment houses and small guest properties here sit on the slope between the Old Town walls and the cove, so guests walk down to the water and climb back through the same pine-shaded lanes. Among the closest are 1 Bedroom Cozy Apartment In Dubrovnik, Apartment Teraca Dubrovnik and Beach house Sveti Jakov, all within 90 m, with St Jacob Old town & sea view 2 a little further up at 100 m. Evenings are quiet, and Ploče Gate is a short downhill walk when you want dinner in the Old Town.
The Old Town sits inside the walls, a short walk from Ploče Gate and a longer climb back from St. Jakov Beach. Guests based here get the lanes, the squares and the evening life, then reach the cove on foot down the coast road and the stone staircase. For a beach-focused stay it means accepting the uphill return, especially in August heat. Ploče's apartment houses, such as Room St. Jacob Dubrovnik at 360 m and The Room at 420 m, offer a quieter alternative with the same access to the walls.

From 310 m to 420 m — Shining Star Apartments, Apartment Helena, Apartments Kirigin, Quaint Mansion With Terrace in Dubrovnik VR, Apartments Blue Infinity and The Room — the cove is a 5 to 6 minute walk. Guests arriving by air or from further along the coast cover the last stretch by car or taxi and continue on foot down the staircase.
St. Jakov Beach is a pebble cove on the eastern edge of Ploče, reached by a long stone staircase that descends from the residential lanes around Vlaha Bukovca. East of the Old Town walls, the coast road passes Banje beach and the cliff hotels of Frana Supila before the path drops toward the water. Visitors come for the clear Adriatic, the relative quiet compared with the city beaches, and the view back toward the walls and the island of Lokrum. The setting is natural and unbuilt — pine, rock and shallows rather than promenade cafés. Because it sits below Ploče, it draws both locals from the surrounding streets and travellers staying in the apartments and guesthouses scattered along the slope above it.
