Wild beaches of Bulgaria. How to find budget hotels in Albena resort. With different coverage

When booking rooms at the Navigator Hotel, vacationers ask many questions about the beach in Primorsko, Bulgaria. Most ask Are the beaches in Bulgaria paid? And does the hotel have its own beach? In Primorsko, not a single hotel has its own beach. The beaches in Primorsko are all municipal (owned by the city). These beaches are divided into two zones: there is a free zone and a paid one. According to the laws of Bulgaria, the paid beach area should not exceed 50% of the entire beach area, but in practice this law is not respected. During the season, Bulgarians want to earn more and therefore paid beach areas do more than free ones. Near our hotel, the beach is also divided into a paid and free area. The paid area (signed with a sign) has sunbeds and umbrellas, for which the beach manager charges a fee. The cost of renting a sunbed on the beach is 2.5 euros per day. The cost of renting an umbrella is also 2.5 euros. On the free beach area, you can lie for free at least the whole day. Just in the season (July-August months) you need to come to the beach earlier to take your place. At the height of the season, it is advisable to be on the beach from 9.00 in the morning. If you come to the beach at 11.00 during the season, then it’s not a fact that there will be a place in the free zone. So if you want to sunbathe on the free beach zone, then come early and take a seat: spread your beach towel, put an umbrella. After that, you can safely relax at this place for at least a whole day. If you want to leave for lunch and not lose your place, then for this you can leave a towel and an umbrella on busy place, collect things, go out to have lunch in a cafe. And after lunch they will return and continue their rest on the beach. In this case, you do not have to worry; Your umbrella or towel will remain in its place.

Advantages of the beach in Primorsko:

In this section, I decided to highlight the advantages that Primorsko beach has in comparison with other resorts in Bulgaria.

1. The beach is sandy.
2. Well developed beach service. Good rescue service.
3. Relatively not crowded on the beach even in season.
4. Gentle descent into the sea (which is convenient for families with small children).
5. Pure sea water.
6. Daily thorough cleaning of the beach.

Entertainment on the beaches of Bulgaria.

In Bulgaria, there is enough entertainment on the beaches. As in any resort in Primorsko there is a ride on a banana, inflatable pillows, a jet ski. You can buy a mask and fins and dive with your child while studying the seabed, although this entertainment can only be done with. There is a diving club on the southern beach of Primorsk, where you can dive at a more serious level to explore the seabed. On the south beach there is a pier from which you can take a walk on the sea or a picnic on a yacht with swimming in the sea. During the day in the beach cafe you can always quench your thirst with a soft drink or ice cream. In the evenings, during the season, discos are often held in beach cafes. The cost of a beach holiday. I already wrote about the cost of renting an umbrella and sunbed above (2.5 euros per day). Riding on a pillow, banana, jet ski - 12 - 15 euros. Yacht trip 7 euros for adults and 4 euros for children. The cost of a beach towel is 4-7 euros, the cost of a beach umbrella is 7-12 euros. Near the hotel you can buy any accessories for swimming in the sea: balls, inflatable circles, mattresses, at an affordable price.

Beach safety.

The rescue service works well on the beaches of Primorsko in Bulgaria. The rescue service very carefully monitors vacationers on the beach and deserves great respect. Rescuers in stormy weather generally do not allow vacationers to enter the sea, and in rough seas they make sure that tourists do not go deep into the sea when swimming. Although not all vacationers like it, many want to splash deeper on the waves. At the same time, people do not understand that the outflow wave can drag them into the sea. And not infrequently there were cases when rescuers pulled already drowning people out of the sea. So in terms of safety when relaxing at sea, you can be completely confident in the rescue service. Despite the good rescue service, you should not leave children alone at sea without supervision. Rescue posts are located 100 m from each other and work from 8.00 to 18.00. There is a medical post on the beach, where, if necessary, you can get first aid.

Cleanliness and well-groomed beaches.

Reading reviews on the Internet about holidays in Bulgaria there is an opinion that different resorts with cleanliness on the beaches is different. Especially in large resorts, the cleanliness on the beaches during the season leaves much to be desired. As for Primorsko: the beach is cleaned every day from the garbage that vacationers leave behind. The area near the beach is also cleaned quite well. It should be noted that the sea water in Primorsko is the cleanest. Not far from Primorsko is the Rapotamo nature reserve in Bulgaria. Therefore, there are no industries, emissions, discharges into the sea, etc. This is one of the cleanest places in Bulgaria and it is ideal for families with children.
