Cuyutlán & el Paraíso

Introducing Cuyutlán & el Paraíso

With their black-sand beaches, gentle waves and laid-back attitudes, the twin resorts of Cuyutlán (population 926) and El Paraíso (population 189) are great places to get away from it all. The quiet little beach towns are popular with Mexican families but see few gringos. Cuyutlán has a better selection of hotels and services, but El Paraíso is less crowded and more tranquil. Bring your flip-flops; the black sand gets very hot!
