Anfi beach is located in the south of Gran Canaria and belongs to the municipality of Mogán. The beach itself is quite touristic and crowded, especially on weekends. However, we would recommend it for families with children because is safe, since the sea is super quiet as it is in a sheltered bay. Its sand is white and brought from somewhere in the Caribbean. Anfi del Mar has all the services: toilets, showers, sun beds, umbrellas, restaurants and even a wide water sports offer. Keep reading if you want to know more!

Next to the beach there are also several shops, boutiques and a supermarket. To park you have a parking area on the top of the beach or at the hotel Monte Anfi. In both of them you have to pay. Despite being a crowded beach, it has some attractions. We will mention all of them below.
Things to do in Anfi beach
✔ Swimming in Anfi beach
On the beach you can do practically all kinds of water activities. That is, rent a jet ski, skates, standing up paddle, kayaking, wakeboard, parasailing, banana… This alternative is ideal if you come to the island for a bachelor party to have a good time. On the other hand, you should know that the beach is also ideal for swimming, there are some buoys that will limit how far you can go.

✔ Visit Maroa Island
It is an artificial island with heart shape where you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the sea. To access the sea there are some direct stairs. Here the water is super clean and clear. So that, if you have goggles, you can enjoy snorkeling here or swim…

✔ Enjoy the beach Club Maroa
Within Maroa Island, it is the Beach Club Maroa and its restaurant. Here you can spend the day in their sun beds, have a drink or a meal. The food is so nice, so as the service.

We also recommend this place for bachelor or bachelorette parties in Gran Canaria. Although the price of the beach club is a bit expensive compared to the average of the island, since it is in a very touristic area.

✔ Take a boat to Puerto de Mogán or Arguineguín
There is a small port at Maroa Island where some boats departs to Arguineguín or Puerto de Mogán, so you can have a view of the coast. There are two companies operating here: Líneas Blue Bird and Líneas Salmón. We recommend you this activity for children.

Next to the Marina which is at Anfi del Mar, there is a scuba diving center where you can arrange a course and enjoy diving in Gran Canaria. The company name is Scuba Sur Gran Canaria.
✔ Enjoy the sunset
If you are around this area, you can not miss one of the best sunsets of Gran Canaria from Patalavaca or Arguineguín. This town is very close to Anfi and can be reached on foot by two promenades: one promenade next to the sea that passes through the beaches of Aquamarina and Patalavaca. And another that goes next to the road. There are approximately 3 kilometers long until Arguineguín.

To eat at Anfi, in addition to the Beach Club Maroa, you have right in front of the beach a quite beautiful place of yummy poké called Maroa Beach. The rest of the sites are quite touristy: La Posada, Mar de Tapas and Bella Pasta.
