El Paraíso Beach
Just 7 km from Armería, Playa El Paraíso offers delicious local dishes like ceviche and zarandeado fish, and thanks to the impressive waves this beach provides, you can enjoy surfing and bodyboarding. You can also explore the mangroves of Estero Palo Verde or relax while watching the sunset and starry sky by the sea.
In the heart of the Colima Pacific, just 7 km from Armería, lies a place that truly lives up to its name: Playa El Paraíso. This coastal retreat, with its dark sand formed by the volcanic sediments of the Armería River, offers an authentic and evocative landscape that invites you to slow down and reconnect with nature.
Perfect for those seeking thrills on the waves, El Paraíso is famous for its strong surf and deep waters, ideal conditions for surfing and bodyboarding. Additionally, every October the Surf and Bodyboard Tournament is held, bringing together top national athletes and positioning this beach as an unmissable competitive venue.
The flavors of the sea are another of its great attractions. Traditional beach shacks line the coast, offering homemade delights such as fresh ceviche, zarandeado fish, garlic shrimp, and spicy octopus, all accompanied by the warm, authentic Colima flavor. Some of these shacks also provide camping areas by the sea, making the experience an even more special stay.
Tourism offerings are complemented by exciting boat tours through the mangroves of the Palo Verde estuary, where visitors can observe birds and native wildlife in a pristine environment.
And when night falls, the sky over the shore shines with an intimate and magical spectacle: endless stars and, on occasion, bioluminescence, turning the waves into brushstrokes of light.
