Option 2: Nothing complicated. There are bus stops on the Jadranska Cesta. I stood at the one opposite to the Lodpudska Ulica with a HUGE sign "Ploče". Literally 1 minute later, the first car passed by pulled over and took me to Ploče.

Hitchhiking out of Dubrovnik - which is the last major town in the south of Croatia - does not seem that difficult, although it might require quite some luck. Just climb up to the coastline road and hitchhike on the E65 to the South. A couple of kilometers after the city, there is a scenic view with a cafe and a large parking space, large enough to stop a truck. IMPORTANT! If you have no luck alongside are already on the part of E65 close to the old town, DONT move any further east! For the road closer next 2,5 km there is not much space to walk - not to mention to stop for the citycars because of crash barriers, and you can will have to walk it all. Its a very scenic - but also not very safe walk down , in case you want to this pointgive it a try.
Most drivers, though, are heading mainly towards either [[hitchhiking a plane|airport]] or the small town of [[Gruda]]. It is still about 10 km from there to the [[Montenegro-Croatian border crossing]] between [[Herceg Novi|Herceg-Novi]] (Montenegro) near Gruda (Croatia). Since the traffic is pretty low on that road - especially in the late afternoon/evening - you will need some luck to find someone crossing the border and willing to take you. Most probably you will be picked up by some tourists.
