Playa del Socorro
Los Realejos
Playa del Socorro, located in the municipality of Los Realejos, is one of the most beloved beaches in northern Tenerife. Surrounded by imposing cliffs and Atlantic vegetation, this beach of fine, black volcanic sand stretches for more than 400 meters, offering a vibrant natural setting where the ocean presents itself with power and character.
El Socorro is especially popular with surfers and bodyboarders for its consistent, powerful waves. In fact, it regularly hosts local and international competitions. It's also a popular beach for families and bathers, thanks to its well-managed facilities: the bathing area is protected and separated from the direct waves, allowing for safe enjoyment.
It is very well-equipped: it has lifeguards, showers, restrooms, access for people with reduced mobility, nearby parking, and even a small beach bar offering drinks and casual food with sea views. In summer, the youth area "El Puntito" offers activities, books, and free Wi-Fi, giving it a modern and dynamic feel without losing the local atmosphere.
Access is easy by road, with a scenic descent that offers spectacular views of the Atlantic. Upon arrival, you're greeted by the sea breeze, the sound of the waves, and a panorama that seems straight out of a postcard. Whether you're spending the day sunbathing, surfing, or watching a silent sunset by the sea, this beach is an authentic northern Tenerife experience.

Where to eat
Porsabor
If you love ice cream, you'll notice the difference from the very first spoonful. At Porsabor, they work with a carefully crafted base, intense flavors, and a creamy texture that's not your average drink. They have a wide variety, including more unusual flavors and lactose-free or sugar-free options. It's the kind of place where you stop for an ice cream and end up going back for more.
What to see
Escalera de Agatha Christie
If you love literature, this staircase will bring a smile to your face. Right on the Paseo San Amaro, you'll see steps transformed into the spines of Agatha Christie books, painted in vibrant colors and bearing recognizable titles. It's a tribute to her visit to Tenerife in 1927. When you climb them, you're not just walking; you're traversing a part of her history and her connection to Puerto de la Cruz.
Activities
Área Recreativa de Chanajiga
If you prefer the more authentic, lush forest of the north, Chanajiga offers an atmosphere unlike any other picnic area on the island. Here, the forest takes center stage: tall pines, frequent mist, and a constant feeling of coolness. It's a popular spot for spending the day with barbecues and picnics, but also serves as a starting point for trails that delve into one of Tenerife's greenest and most rugged areas.
Beaches
Charco de La Laja
Charco de La Laja, in San Juan de la Rambla, is one of the most spectacular natural pools in northern Tenerife. Carved by lava and protected from the waves by rock formations, it offers crystal-clear turquoise waters and a stunning volcanic setting. It's perfect for a peaceful swim, unwinding, and enjoying the coastal scenery, though always be cautious when swimming in the open sea.
Nightlife
Shopping
Las Llanadas
If you enjoy discovering local products directly from their source, this small artisanal cheese factory in Los Realejos is one of those places where cheese is still made the traditional way. They work primarily with goat's milk and produce fresh, semi-cured, and smoked cheeses, as well as ricotta and other dairy products. It's a place closely linked to the primary sector of northern Tenerife, where the authentic flavor of Canarian cheese takes center stage.
Sports
Parapente Mirador de la Corona
Mirador de La Corona is one of the most popular paragliding takeoff sites in Tenerife and the entire Canary Islands. Located at an altitude of approximately 750 meters in Icod El Alto, it offers stable flight conditions throughout most of the year. From here, takeoff offers stunning views of the Orotava Valley and the Atlantic, making each flight a unique experience for both experienced pilots and those trying tandem flights.
Trekking
Sendero de la Rambla de Castro,
The Rambla de Castro trail is a 9km (one-way) coastal walk that's very accessible and offers breathtaking views. Starting at the El Burgado or San Pedro viewpoint, you walk among black sand beaches, palm groves, tabaiba trees, and dragon trees, passing historic sites: the Castro Mansion, the San Fernando fort, and the ruins of the water elevator. All within a protected natural landscape brimming with charm.
