Playa del Socorro is a great location for couples and families, combining wild northern landscapes with easy access. We always enjoy travelling to this part of Tenerife for a photoshoot.

 

Location 📍

 

Playa del Socorro is one of Tenerife’s favourite surf beaches and also holds a Blue Flag award. Its dark volcanic sand, Atlantic waves, and surrounding cliffs create a completely different atmosphere from the beaches in the south.

 

How to get there
