On the south coast of Lanzarote is Playa Blanca, once a small fishing village and now a popular resort.
Playa Blanca translates into white beach and is so named for the wonderful beaches it possess.
The resort is perfect for couples and families and anyone else who is looking for a relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings.
Playa Blanca has some of the best beaches in Lanzarote and is near to one of the best beaches in the Canary Islands.
The main beach of Playa Blanca is a dream of rippling white sands.
The sea deepens from a tropical turquoise to sapphire and the rays of the sun cause it to sparkle in the light.
Not far from this beach lies the famous Papagayo beach which is as close to paradise as a beach can get! Beaches are the main attraction in Playa Blanca however there are plenty of other things to do as well! Water sports are a popular choice because of the clear, warm waters and boat trips from Playa Blanca to Papagayo or nearby Fuerteventura are popular also.
Lanzarote has lots of places to visit and trips can be easily arranged! The Marina Rubicon in Playa Blanca is fast becoming one of the most popular marinas in Lanzarote because of its profusion of shops, restaurants and bars.
The Playa Blanca promenade also offers lots of shops, bars and eateries with some of the best fish in the area! For night life Playa Blanca is quite low-key but still gives tourists a lively night.
