Golden at the beach…

About two kilometers (about 2 miles) from our hotel sits the small city of Playa Blanca. This little burg boasts a jewel known as Playa Dourada (Golden Beach). Not only is the beach itself world class gorgeous, it is tucked under a well developed commercial area with restaurants, bars and even supermarkets. The hotel had a shuttle that went there several times a day, although a cab only costs 4 Euros.

From our rented chairs (3 Euros each), the view was drop dead beautiful. Warning: The gentle bobbing of this sailboat is hypnotizing.

The water was gorgeous. I took this shot from one of the breakwater at the west end. It is one of my favorite shots from the trip.

This shot is from the breakwater to the east. I LOVE LANZAROTE!!!
