The bus and coach station ("Estacion de Guaguas") is the northern edge of the commercial area of the town, at the corner of Av.

In early October 2008, Playa Blanca became the first town on the Island to have a dedicated local bus service,[3] rather than through buses only.

The main road route to Playa Blanca is the LZ2, heading north from the town then eastwards to the capital Arrecife.

[citation needed] Marina Rubicon, one of the biggest ports on the Canary Islands, is situated about a 15-minute promenade walk from the town itself.

It has 550 berths with finger system for monohull and multihull boats of up to 50 meters, in addition to an area for large length on the dock (up to 90 m) and a courtesy dinghy-dock located in anteport.

The floating boarding pontoons have an aluminium structure, covered in tropical wood and anchored using berthing dolphins.

[4] Two hundred meters to the east of Marina Rubicon, Castillo de las Coloradas stands on the headland of Punta del Aquila.

The sculptures are made from pH-neutral materials that are environmentally friendly and designed to encourage the growth of marine life.

The sculptures are spread out over an area of 2500 square meters and are set in a variety of positions and poses, representing scenes from everyday life as well as social and political issues.

The aim of the museum is to create a unique and sustainable way of engaging tourists and locals with the underwater environment and to provide a new habitat for marine life.

By creating an underwater gallery, the museum contributes to the protection and conservation of the marine ecosystem through oceanic art.

To access the museum, visitors can take a guided diving or snorkeling tour led by experienced instructors, allowing them to explore the collection of sculptures firsthand.

It is a 10-minute walk from the centre of Playa Blanca and is well served by shops and cafes att Centro Comercial Papagayo behind it.

In reality this is a collection of smaller beaches that are separated by high cliffs, forming a number of sheltered bays.

The second ferry is the Naviera Armas, called the 'Volcan de Tindaya', which makes 7 daily crossings each way, each one being of 35 minutes duration.

There has been emotive local discussion for some time about enlarging the harbour to allow it to take larger cruise liners such as the Queen Elizabeth 2 which has visited the port, but which had to moor just off the coast.

The beach at El Golfo is within a half-submerged cone of a volcano, which over time has been eroded by the sea, leaving behind only the striated wall of the crater.

At the foot of the crater wall is Lago Verde, a half-moon-shaped lagoon of a striking green colour, said to be caused by the volcanic minerals and micro-organisms that are believed to be unique in this lake.

Each year, during the Corpus Christi festival in June, tons of dyed salt are traditionally used in the creation of magnificent decorations in the streets and squares of Arrecife, the capital.

Because Playa Blanca lacks high mountains, there are few clouds to provide a natural barrier, resulting in lower evaporation and a more manageable humidity level.
