Paradise City

Overview

Paradise City is the fictional location where Burnout Paradise takes place. It is presumed to be somewhere in the United States, but it is unknown as to where exactly. Paradise City has a wide range of areas to visit, from a mountainous region to a beach. The city is divided into five different districts: Downtown Paradise, Harbor Town, Palm Bay Heights, Silver Lake, and White Mountain. Each of those districts also have several other small areas located inside of it.

There is also a downloadable content pack for Burnout Paradise that includes Big Surf Island, an island located off of Paradise City. Burnout Paradise Remastered includes Big Surf Island for no additional charge.
