Playa Paraiso

Playa Paraiso is located on the west coast of Cozumel. While none of the beaches on this island are ever really crowded, Playa Paraiso is especially sleepy, making it a great place to lay out a beach blanket and relax.

Positioned on the southern side of the island of Isla Mujeres, You should consider stopping by even if you aren't staying nearby. Those of you who might prefer a beach that's a little less crowded, but still fun and active, may really like a visit to Playa Paraiso. It's not one of the beaches that's always brimming with visitors, but it's not totally devoid of people either.

How to Access The Beach

Playa Paraiso is located down a sandy road through a separation in tree groupings off Captain Dulce Road.

Amenities and Ambiance

Playa Pataiso is located adjacent to a hotel property, and backed by a thick growth of trees. The sand is bright white and dotted with palm trees, while the water is deep emerald green.

Unfortunately, public restrooms aren't available, which is something to consider if you're bringing the kids, or plan to spend all day outside.

Since Playa Paraiso will be found inside a tourist hotspot, you'll want to plan accordingly.
