Plack Beach is a location in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake. It is east of Cavi Cape and south of Dimble Wood. The area's name is a play on dental plaque, a thin film of bacteria and fungi on the surface of teeth that can promote tooth decay. True to its name, the area features various structures shaped like cavity-riddled teeth, and many foes in the region are based on dentistry-related subjects such as teeth or dental drills. Bowser first comes through here in the beginning of the game. Bowser then meets Broque Monsieur, who is stranded on an island. He pulls the island to the main land with the unknown-to-him help of Mario and Luigi who stimulate his arm muscles. Broque rewards Bowser with the Vacuum Block and teaches him how to use the Vacuum technique.

Bowser encounters and fights the Sea Pipe Statue that was brought to life by a Fawfulcopter. After the statue is defeated, he realizes his fire breath was gone, and discovers that Starlow (who claimed to be named "Chippy") was inside his body. He then orders Starlow to go figure out what was wrong. Starlow sends Mario and Luigi to investigate. Mario and Luigi eventually make it to the Flame Pipe and fight the Scutlet that was blocking the fire's flow. Bowser then burns down the tree that was blocking his path, and meets again with Broque, who explains that his dog, Broggy, was being disobedient and needed to be taught a lesson. Bowser battles Broggy and wins. Broque and Broggy leave, saying to visit them in Dimble Wood, where they own a shop.

The area is later explored by Mario and Luigi themselves, meeting and solving puzzles for Kuzzle, (one of which rewards them with the Spin Pipe attack) as well as battling Chakron and procuring his Star Cure.

Many tooth-like structures with gray chips in them border the area. These chips give a plaque-like impression, hence the area's name. The fad Squid Fit first appeared here.
