This hidden paradise, often called Bungee Beach by locals, is officially known as Playa Paredon. Nestled along the southern coast of Banderas Bay, it offers a peaceful, unspoiled setting that’s perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and soaking in the natural beauty of Mexico’s Pacific coast.

Where Playa Paredon Is Located in Banderas Bay
Playa Paredon lies just a short cruise from Puerto Vallarta’s Marina Vallarta. Tucked between dramatic cliffs and lush tropical jungle, it feels worlds away from the busy beaches in town. The calm waters and natural seclusion make it a favorite stop for yacht charters.
Because it is close to well-known destinations like Los Arcos, Quimixto, Majahuitas, and Yelapa, it’s the perfect spot to anchor on your way to other adventures. Many of our guests love making Playa Paredon their first stop. It sets the tone for a day of relaxation, fun, and discovery.
Why People Love Visiting Playa Paredon
A luxury yacht charter to Playa Paredon is about more than reaching a destination. It’s about escaping the ordinary. Unlike crowded beaches, this hidden gem offers peace and privacy. There are no hotels, no beach clubs, and no vendors. Instead, you’ll find the sound of waves, the call of seabirds, and the natural beauty of the Mexican Pacific.
People visit Playa Paredon for many reasons:
- Swimming in crystal-clear waters without the crowds.
- Snorkeling among tropical fish near the rocky shoreline.
- Relaxing on deck with a cold drink, enjoying the view of cliffs and jungle.
- Exploring hidden caves along the shore.
- Jumping from the rocks for a splash of adrenaline.
- Capturing unforgettable photos of one of Puerto Vallarta’s most pristine beaches.
It’s also a favorite spot for those who want to combine activity and relaxation. You can swim, snorkel, and explore — then retreat back to the comfort and luxury of Aurora.
Playa Paredon vs. Los Arcos
When it comes to snorkeling, Los Arcos is more famous. However, Los Arcos often attracts heavy boat traffic. Playa Paredon is just minutes away and offers a more tranquil experience. Because there are fewer people, many of our guests say they spot more marine life here.
That’s why a luxury yacht charter to Playa Paredon gives you the best of both worlds. You enjoy a secluded anchorage with vibrant snorkeling and then continue on to Los Arcos if you’d like to experience its iconic arches.
Locals Call It Bungee Beach
If you ask around, you may hear Playa Paredon referred to as Bungee Beach. That’s because of the adventurous cliff jumps that give the area its local nickname. We make sure our guests know that “Locals sometimes call it Bungee Beach, but it’s officially Paredon Beach.” Whether you call it Playa Paredon or Bungee Beach, it’s the same stunning stop in Banderas Bay.
Why the Best Way to Visit Is by Yacht
There are hiking trails that lead to Playa Paredon, but they can be long and challenging. The easiest and most comfortable way to get there is by sea. Arriving aboard Aurora, you glide across the bay and anchor just offshore. From there, it’s a quick swim or paddleboard to the beach.
A luxury yacht charter to Playa Paredon means you avoid the hassle of crowded tours. Instead, you and your guests enjoy private access, premium amenities, and the freedom to explore at your own pace.
