Playa Blanca

Posted byDerbyshire GalPosted inCanary IslandsTags:,

Playa Blanca (Spanish for White Beach) is the southernmost town of Lanzarote and is also the newest resort on the island.

View of a sandy beach dotted with numerous yellow lounge chairs and blue umbrellas, along with people relaxing and enjoying the water, with boats in the background.

The main town beach is Playa Dorada, literally translated as The Golden Beach, and is to the east of the town centre.

The sea around Playa Dorada is generally very calm because it is encased within a manmade cove.

It’s a 10-minute walk from the centre of Playa Blanca and is well served by shops and cafes at Centro Comercial Papagayo behind it.

The sea is a stunning shade of deep blue on the day we visit.
