Playa de Anfi del Mar

This cosy little bay is nestled snugly along Gran Canaria’s south coast.

The beach is an ice white sandy strip that draws families in, partly due to the calm and clear water, which is ideal for young children taking a paddle, and partly due to the family-friendly atmosphere here.

Sunbeds and parasols can be rented on the sands, and there’s a watersports centre on the beach too, where you can hire jet-skis, kayaks and paddleboards, as well as book onto banana boat rides and speedboats.

There’s plenty of amenities at this beach too - the promenade is lined with restaurants, cafes and shops, and there are a couple of minimarkets if you’re after some snacks and drinks to enjoy on the beach.

In terms of size, the beach is only around 80 metres long, so you can expect it to fill up pretty quickly, especially in the summer months, but the crowd here is mostly young families.
