Come Taste The Canarian
Sunshine
Within Playa Blanca
there are a number of sandy beaches. The town beach is in the very
centre of the town where as Playa Flamingo is just a few minutes
walk to the west but is a very attractive and is a very safe beach
and suitable for families.
Papagayo consists of a
dozen beautiful white sandy bays, sheltering between rocky
headlands. Building in this area is prohibited, and the intention is
to keep the whole area as nature created it. These beaches can now
be reached by road or alternatively, they can be reached by sea taxi
- an scenic and peaceful way to get there. The sea taxis take about
half an hour and they depart regularly from the harbour just across
the road from Los Calamares.
Rubicon Marina is
beautiful new marina. There is a newly finished coastal path
stretching all the way from Faro Park in the west to Las Coloradas
in the East of Playa Blanca.
There is a harbour at
Punta Limones with daily ferries to Corralejo in Fuerteventura which
now takes a mere 20 minutes.
Recent additions to the town have included the "Estacion de Guaguas"
(Bus station) which also houses a police station and is located just
a few minutes walk from our villas making it very easy to get around
the town. In early October 2008, Playa Blanca became the first
municipality on the Island to have its own dedicated bus service, as
opposed to buses simply passing through. Price are around €1 per
journey and travel in a loop from Faro Park to Las Coloradas.
Frequency is every half an hour.
