Playa del Socorro

Playa del Socorro is one of those special corners of northern Tenerife that captivates both surfers and those seeking an authentic natural setting. Located in Los Realejos, near Puerto de la Cruz, this black volcanic sand beach has won the hearts of locals and visitors alike for its spectacular sunsets, where the salt mist casts intense yellow hues across the Atlantic horizon.

The access, though somewhat steep, is absolutely worth the effort. The waves here are ideal for surfing, making this spot a favorite among the island's surf community. While it's not the best beach for swimming due to the swell, it's perfect for relaxing while watching the sea, dipping your feet at the shore, or simply enjoying the natural spectacle offered by low tides, when the water recedes revealing the sand. A peaceful and authentic place that reflects the wild beauty of Tenerife's northern coast.
