User reviews
"This beach near El Terrero is the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the sun. It's a volcanic-type beach with ash and pebbles, which I always find so calming. And parking is never an issue."
Johnathan
"Playa del Socorro is a great place for sunbathing and relaxation. There is a small bar, and lifeguards on duty for added safety. We've been back to this beach multiple times, and it's easy to see why we love it so much - Playa del Socorro is a real gem."
