Playa Blanca & Marina Rubicón
Playa Blanca
A resort town at the island’s southern tip, with a relaxed marina market and seafront promenade, and across the water you can see Fuerteventura.
Playa Blanca is a resort town at Lanzarote’s southern tip, closest to the Papagayo beaches. On the east side, the Rubicón marina is full of sailboats, and there is an artisan market on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. A seafront promenade leads to the 18th-century Castillo de las Coloradas. Several ferries run daily from the port to Corralejo on Fuerteventura across the water (about 25 to 35 minutes), making it easy to plan a day trip to see the dunes. The waters here are gentle and the sunshine is abundant, and with plenty of hotels and restaurants, it is a good base for exploring the south.
