Paradise Beach View Map
Paradise Beach is one of the ten most well known beaches of the world. This party beach was originally made famous by the hippie generation dating back as far as 1969. This is still the place to go if you are looking for a beach where 'anything goes''. Known for special events, such as Full Moon Parties and Bubble Parties, this can be a beach to relax on or die partying. Don't miss the closing party if you're on Mykonos in early September.
It's mostly multicultural, young twenty something's, but you can find a mix of all ages. Paradise Beach is a good place to sleep off a hangover in early afternoon with the throbbing music from several beach bars picking up at around 16:00 where you can start the party all over again. Bodies everywhere, dancing on the bars or on the sand, it's amazing that after a few minutes you don't even notice if people are dressed or undressed.
One of the most easily accessible beaches as it has the most frequent bus service from Mykonos Town, including special event shuttle busses. You can also reach the beach by catching a boat / caique originating from or returning to Platys Gialos or Ornos beaches, taxi or a rental car - motorbike. There is a footpath over the hill to the right leading to Paraga Beach, approximately a ten minute walk. Sun beds and umbrellas are available for rent, there is also an area that offers wind protection behind a bamboo fence. Uni - sex toilets, so be prepared to share. In general you will find a pool dance club, beach bar, self service restaurant, snack bar, croissanterie, mini market and boutique. Equipped with a lifeguard, this is one of the big water sport beaches offering a scuba diving center, jet skis, water skiing, snorkeling, parasailing, banana boats, tubes, canoes and pedal boats. Paradise Beach also features beach volley, horseback riding and bungee catapult. Similar to bungee jumping except that you start on the ground. Catapult is also known as "Reverse Bungee" and "Bungee Rocket". You shoot up into the air at approximately gazillion miles per hour, eventually stopping and continuing like you would any normal jump.
A big attraction for young, bohemian party people is Paradise Camping. This complex offers apartments, rooms, beach cabins, camping tents and community toilets / showers just a few meters behind the party scene and beneath the shade of the trees. There is a Paradise Camping shuttle service that can pick you up from the port or airport.
Last but not least grab a bottle and toast 'to your health''. Be aware of the sea life (urchins, jelly fish) and the natural setting. Watch where you step!
