Playa Blanca
Playa Blanca is a clean, quiet haven located on the Southern most point of Lanzarote. From every beach you can see the islands of Fuerteventura and Los Lobos, one of the most spectacular beach views available in the World. There are four separate golden beaches in Playa Blanca and at least a further eight beaches collectively known as Playas de Papagayo. Papagayo is located on the East side of Playa Blanca near the new five star Marina complex and is widely known as the finest collection of beaches in the whole of Spain.
Playa Blanca was for centuries a quiet fishing village with only the odd pirate invasion to keep the locals on their toes! Although the village is now more built up and reliant on tourism it still retains a pirate-free fishing fleet which you can see leaving the harbour each morning.
Playa Blanca has numerous exciting and very reasonably priced restaurants and bars. Here, you can eat well, very well! Spanish, Italian, Mexican, English and Chinese are all available. Most restaurants have beautiful sea views to Los Lobos and Fuerteventura. All are excellently decorated and well stocked for wine and drinks.
