With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Playa Blanca, 25 miles away, has to offer. Marina Rubicon, Aqualava Water Park and Pechiguera Lighthouse alone justify the drive. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Playa de los Muertes, 60 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Ajuy Beach. (But we’re also huge fans of Ajuy Caves and Playa Garcey.)
