The southern tip of Lanzarote

Playa Blanca is Lanzarote's southernmost town and part of the municipality of Yaiza. Its harbour is the island's link with Corralejo on the northern tip of Fuerteventura, with ferries crossing the La Bocayna strait several times a day. The rental office in our list is at the maritime station itself, which suits two kinds of traveller: those coming over from Fuerteventura for a few days, and those staying in Playa Blanca who want a car without going back to the airport, a drive of around 35 to 40 km.

Ferry rules

Before you book a car on one island and plan to cross to the other, check the rental terms. Taking a car on the ferry is not always permitted, and insurance may not cover the crossing. Many visitors simply leave the car on Lanzarote and rent again in Corralejo.

What to see from Playa Blanca

  • The Papagayo coves east of town are a protected area reached by a bumpy dirt road, with a small charge for each car.
  • Marina Rubicón, a short walk along the promenade, is one of the largest marinas in the Canary Islands.
  • Timanfaya National Park, formed by the eruptions of 1730 to 1736, lies to the north in Yaiza and Tinajo.
  • The salt pans of Janubio and the green lagoon at El Golfo are on the west coast road.
  • The LZ-2 runs from Playa Blanca to Arrecife, the capital, and connects with the main roads north.

Lanzarote is a year-round destination, but school holidays and the winter-sun months are the busiest. Check whether driving on gravel tracks, such as the road to Papagayo, is covered by your insurance.
