Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain

Playa de Balito

Playa de Balito is a coastal area located near the Marina Elite Hotel. It is characterized by its rocky terrain and lack of direct access to the ocean. Despite this, the area offers an open ocean view and a picturesque view of Anfi del Mar. The area is not typically used for sunbathing due to its rocky nature, but it does feature some interesting rock formations in the sea.

The area is accessible via a route from the Marina Elite Hotel, which is the only route to Anfi beach that avoids the highway. This route is described as a fun and interesting walk during the day, but it can be challenging at night due to the lack of lighting in the area. The path is rocky and it's recommended to use a mobile phone torch for visibility and to have company for safety. The route includes a sandy yet hard surface, stairs, and two short tunnels.
