Car: not necessary
Playa Blanca is a beautiful fishing village in the South of Lanzarote, with pretty whitewashed houses and shops along a pedestrianised road where you can shop for attractive gifts, clothes and food. The views from Playa Blanca are always stunning, over the sparkling blue sea to the island of Fuerteventura, or across to the beaches at Papagayo.
There are no high-rise buildings and the atmosphere is warm, friendly and family oriented.
There is a choice of three golden, sandy beaches to walk to, as well as the superb and more remote Papagayo beaches a short drive away. The village has a variety of excellent restaurants, a few bars, some supermarkets, shops and banks. The little harbour at Playa Blanca not only acts as host to visiting yachtsmen and the local fishermen, but is also the main terminal for the frequent, daily ferry service to the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura. There are also several boat trips to the Papagayo beaches and the nature reserve island of Los Lobos.
