Playa Blanca Guide
Sightseeing
A visit to the Timanfaya National Park is a must visit when in Lanzarote. The spectacular volcanic landscape, that covers almost a quarter of the entire island, was created over six years of near-continuous volcanic eruptions.
The Volcano Park is one of Lanzarote's most popular tourist attraction. Every year, close to 1
million people visited this unique landscape that is home to a sea of colourful volcanoes and spent cones.
The heat just below the earth's crust is still so intense that the restaurant at Timanfaya uses an opening in the ground to grill meat and fish that they then serve to diners. Go into the grill room and experience the heat for yourself!

One of the principal attractions at El Golfo is the famous Green Lagoon - an incredible phenomenon in the cove, where sea water is trapped in the form of a lake and has turned a wonderful acidic green colour, due to the algae which lives and grows there.
The beach itself is made up of pebbles, and the cliffs behind the lagoon are equally as dramatic, having been wind eroded into fantastic shapes over the course of the centuries. The scenery is
further enhanced by the large rocks which sit just off the beach and causes the sea to crash around them.
If driving, you'll travel through part of the Natural Volcano Park, which encircles the Timanfaya Park on all sides, to reach this little village.

Just a few minutes walk to the west of the town along the sea-front, you will find the Playa Flamingo beach which is also very clean, safe and family-friendly.
Although outside of the town centre, you can still find a number of shops, restaurants and bars to satisfy your needs during the day.
This is the nearest beach to the new developments around Montaña Roja, including Faro Park,
Carlos Park and Shangrila.

Papagayo is one of he most well known of all the beaches in Playa Blanca. In reality, it's actually a collection of small beaches that are all separated by high cliffs, forming a number of lovely sheltered bays.
The area has been well protected and is now also a national park which can be accessed via a dirt road (there is a small charge to use this route) or by the coastal pathway which starts at the eastern end of the resort.
You can also reach Papagayo via a Water Taxi from the harbour in Playa Blanca, if you're feeling fancy!
