We study spatiotemporal solitons at the edge of a semi-infinite binary array of optical waveguides and, in particular, predict theoretically the existence of a novel type of surface soliton, the surface gap light bullets. We analyze the stability properties of these solitons in the framework of the continuous-discrete model of an array of two types of optical waveguides.
