Playa Blanca
Once a small fishing village near the most southerly tip of Lanzarote, Playa Blanca has developed into Lanzarote's second most popular resort.
Despite being a recent development every effort has been made to match the traditional with the modern and as you will see, it has been a great success.
Marina Rubicon, located close to Papagayo, at the eastern-end of the resort, is the newest development.
Marina Rubicon is a sea front development of upmarket restaurants and designer boutiques positioned next to a beautiful Marina of luxury yachts and boats. Here at the water's edge you can sit back and sample either the local and international cuisine on offer.
Not far from the Marina lie the Island's most spectacular beach -Papagayo. These beaches are accessed via dirt tracks and there is a small entrance fee. There are multiple beaches and coves to choose from.
However, it is worth noting that this part of the Island is untouched, therefore public facilities, such as toilets and refreshments are limited. There are regular boating trips to this part of the Island and this is one place definitely worth a visit.
Playa Blanca offers a good mixture of accommodation varying from low-budget breaks to luxury 5 star All-Inclusive Hotels.
There are numerous restaurants and bars and if you feel up to it you can always take the ferry to the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura. The trip takes just twenty minutes and is a fabulous excursion.
