LANZAROTE / PAPAGAYO
Papagayo from Playa Blanca: beach or boat?
Two ways to enjoy the same coast, with different timing, cost and pace.
Updated: September 2026
The Papagayo beaches are in southern Lanzarote, close to Playa Blanca. You can make a beach day by land or look for a boat trip. Choose between control over your schedule and time on the water.
By land
Stay as long as you like. Check current access before leaving, bring water and sun protection, and do not assume the same facilities as an urban beach.
By sea
Compare the route, departure port, duration, stops and what is included. Some Papagayo trips depart from Puerto del Carmen, so check the listing carefully.
Before you book
- Confirm the departure port and time.
- Check whether food, equipment or transfers are included.
- Read sea-weather and cancellation terms.
