Plocica lighthouse, built in 1887, is placed on the island of the same name between the islands of Korcula and Hvar, and the Peljesac peninsula.

About the accommodation unit

The island was named after its interesting shape. Flat and low, it resembles a slate protruding out of the sea. It is one of the most beautiful landscapes on the Adriatic.

Out of all lighthouses, Plocica, along with Struga, can accommodate the most people (max. of 14) and is perfect for a Robinson Crusoe type of holiday. Plocica does not have a lighthouse keeper and the waters surrounding it are great for diving. The ground and first floor have an area of 165 square meters, while the yard is paved with stone and the tamarisks and century-old fig trees offer shade all day long. A holiday on Plocica would not be the same without the host Ante Petkovic, who used to visit Plocica and help the lighthouse keepers as a child. After the lighthouse was automated, a lighthouse keeper was no longer needed, nevertheless Ante is still attached to Plocica.

Beaches

The rocky seabed on the southern part of the island is completely different to the shallow sea on the northern side and to its sandy lagoon with boat hoist. The beaches are ideal for small children.

Underwaters

The waters surrounding Plocica are among the most attractive breath-hold (free) diving areas in the Adriatic due to the magnificent underwater landscapes. Sports anglers can catch quite a lot of fish primarily at dawn and late afternoon on the southern and western sides of the island.
