El Paredón is a laid-back Pacific beach town known for its black-sand beaches, powerful surf, spectacular sunsets, and relaxed coastal lifestyle.

Whether you come to surf, spend the day by the pool, enjoy fresh food, watch the sunset over the Pacific, or simply slow down for a few days, El Paredón offers a distinctly different side of Guatemala.
