Playa de Chimisay, Protected beach and cultural heritage site in Tenerife, Spain.

Playa de Chimisay, also called El Socorro, lies on the southeast coast of Tenerife in the El Socorro district of Güímar, north of the Malpaís de Güímar. It has two parts: a small black-sand cove sheltered by a rock breakwater built in the late 1970s, and a wider pebble area extending north.

This location became important after shepherds reportedly discovered an image of the Virgin of Candelaria here. The discovery eventually led to the building of a memorial chapel at the site.

Chimisay is a Guanche word that some authors translate as 'pleas, supplications, demands'. The alternative name El Socorro refers to the tradition that the Guanche king Acaymo had to ask for 'socorro' (help) while carrying the image of the Virgin of Candelaria up the Cuesta del Socorro. The Romería del Socorro is held near the beach.

Regular bus services make it easy to reach this beach from nearby areas. The site offers straightforward access to the water and has protective structures already in place for swimmers.

The breakwater sheltering the swimming cove was built in the late 1970s from piled rocks, partly to trap sand and make bathing easier. The name Chimisay is Guanche, translated by some authors as 'pleas, supplications, requests'.
