Characteristics published by official sources

Playa Blanca is a small urban beach measuring 130 metres in length and 12 metres in width, formed by golden-toned sand and rock. The seafront promenade runs alongside a very busy frontage, with usually calm waters and a direct relationship with Puerto Deportivo Marina Rubicón. Restaurants, showers and foot-wash facilities meet the most immediate needs. It is easily reached on foot or by car, with parking for between 50 and 100 vehicles, a connection on line 6 and access for people with reduced mobility.
