General description of Bulgarian beaches

Lifeguards work on all city beaches in Bulgaria, and umbrellas with sun loungers are rented. At the rescue towers every day posted information about the temperature of the air and water. Also, a flag of a certain color is hung on the rescue towers - green (swimming is allowed), yellow (swimming is allowed) and red (big waves, swimming on mattresses and far from the shore is prohibited, entry into the water is allowed in certain places). The beaches in Bulgaria are very clean, and they are regularly cleaned and cleared of algae. The beaches here are much cleaner than in Spain or Montenegro.

For the most part, the beaches of Sunny Beach and southern Bulgaria are sandy, with a gentle and very comfortable entry into the water along soft sand. We only saw the entry into the water on the rocks, perhaps, on a wild beach near the resort of St. Vlas. The water in the Black Sea is not salty, although in the summer of 2017 it became more salty due to microorganisms that came here. Which, by the way, painted the Black Sea in an amazing turquoise color for these places.

City beaches offer a lot of entertainment: banana and bun riding, windsurfing, wakeboarding, catamaran and water skiing. Unlike Asia, rental points are located in strictly designated areas. In practice, this means that people who swim will not be disturbed by jet skis and other equipment. The sea in Bulgaria warms up well after the second half of June - up to +23 +24. In late May and early June, the sea is still invigorating and cold with a water temperature of about +21. Smoking on the beaches is not prohibited, as well as drinking alcohol. The cost of renting an umbrella or sun lounger on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria is 5-6 leva (2.5-3 Euro) for the whole day. That is, for two sun loungers and an umbrella you will pay 15-18 leva (7.5-9 Euro) for 1 day. In addition to city beaches, Bulgaria also has wild beaches. However, there is no infrastructure on such beaches, and nudists often rest on them.

Unlike Italian resorts, in Bulgaria you can sunbathe around areas with umbrellas and sun loungers, and no one will kick you out of here. All beaches have bars where you can buy beer, soft drinks, ice cream, a small snack, such as a kebab or a sandwich. No annoying sellers of any nonsense, like those of Thailand, do not go along the beaches, but occasionally you can meet sellers of sweet rolls (by the way, very, very tasty!) And corn.

You can get to the resort towns described in the article by ordering a convenient taxi transfer from Burgas Airport. I indicated the distance to the resorts from Burgas Airport in the table below.

And now let's move on to a more detailed description of the most popular beaches in Sunny Beach and southern Bulgaria. To begin with, I will show you a map of resorts in Bulgaria, so that you can clearly see where the beaches I describe are located. When describing the beaches, I will go from north to south.

Elenite

Elenite is a fenced complex of luxury hotels with its own beaches, the entrance to the complex is through a checkpoint with a security guard. The most famous resort hotels are Robinson Beach and Elenite Spa Villas with all-inclusive meals, private beaches, water slides. Elenite is considered to be one of the most romantic places on the Black Sea coast. In addition to hotels, there are luxury villas. Elenite is suitable for a quiet and measured rest on a honeymoon. The most famous beach of the resort is Robinson Beach, about 700 meters long, the width of the beach is small - about 30-40 meters.

Saint Vlas

The beach in Sveti Vlas is large and is divided into several small beaches. Here you can go in for water sports or take a ride on a yacht. The entrance to the sea is very convenient. The sides of the beach are lined with rocks. Only the area of ​​beaches with hotels in Sveti Vlas is equipped with umbrellas and sun loungers.

The resort is located away from supermarket chains, which is extremely inconvenient if you want to stay in an apartment and eat on your own. There are only small private shops and food stalls. Saint Vlas is one of the most elite holiday destinations in Bulgaria. It has all the infrastructure of a beautiful life: a yacht club, a casino, a water park, nightclubs. In terms of its well-groomedness, St. Vlas is not inferior to the expensive resorts of Spain. The most popular hotels in the resort are the all-inclusive hotel Moonlight Hotel and Saint George Palace Hotel. I highly recommend the second St. George hotel for accommodation - we stayed at a hotel of the same chain in and were very pleased with the service.

sunny Beach

The total length of the beach is 10 km. The beach is notable for its long and gradual entry into the water, which is well suited for children. The water on the beach is cloudy with sand. The city beach of Sunny Beach is huge and quite well equipped: there are sun loungers and umbrellas, cafes and bars. The beach of Sunny Beach has been awarded the famous Blue Flag, which indicates the level of its cleanliness.

The nearest resort to Sunny Beach is. I did not really like the fact that it was too noisy on the beach in Sunny Beach, because. the British and Germans like to hang out here, from entertainment on the beach - beach volleyball, water sports and riding on a banana and a bun. Sunny Beach is a very lively resort, and it’s definitely not worth going here for a quiet and measured family vacation. Sunny Beach is perfect for relaxing with friends, holding a hen or stag party, as well as for parties. Hotels on the first line in the resort of Sunny Beach: Hotel Dune, DIT Evrika Beach Club Hotel.

Ravda

Ravda is a rapidly developing resort with lower prices than in Sunny Beach. Ravda has a water park, an amusement park, souvenir shops, cafes and traditional restaurants - mehana. There are no cultural entertainments in Ravda - there is only a beach, family vacation. Tourists who do not have enough entertainment in Ravda go to Nessebar in the evenings, which is only 15 minutes away by bus.

There are two beaches in Ravda: Akademika Beach and South Beach. Akademika Beach is a narrow strip of sandy beach stretched along the Black Sea. This is a long city beach with all the infrastructure: umbrellas, sun loungers, a cafe with Bulgarian and European cuisine. The water on the beach is clear, the entrance to the water is convenient.

The south beach is wider and longer. It is located very close to large hotel complexes on the first line from the sea. To get to the beach, you have to go down the mountain. A paved path, framed by lush greenery, leads to the South Beach. Ravda was appreciated by many Russian stars who bought real estate here: Philip Kirkorov, Lolita, Boris Moiseev, Nadezhda Babkina. They bought apartments in the Emerald Beach Resort & Spa complex, which is located on the South Beach of Ravda.

Pomorie

A well-equipped resort for a beach holiday, where our compatriots prefer to relax. The resort has North and South Beach. The total length of the beaches of the resort is 2 km. The central city beach of Pomorie is the beach near the large hotel Grand Hotel Pomorie. The resort of Pomorie has both equipped beaches with sun loungers and umbrellas, as well as wild beaches without infrastructure. There are a lot of people on the equipped beaches during the season

The resort's most modern beach is South Beach. The water on the South Beach is warm and clear, the sand is golden, the beach is equipped with special wooden platforms for a convenient approach to the beach, nice tents for sunbathing are rented at a price of 40-50 leva per day. It is convenient for families with children to relax here. The beach offers many water attractions. There are lifeguards on the beach. For privacy, you should go to the beach, located between the cities of Aheloy and Pomorie. By the way, Pomorie Lake, famous for its therapeutic mud and salt water, is located in Pomorie.

The most beautiful and well-equipped 5-star hotel on South Beach is Sunset Resort. This is a whole city with its own swimming pools, cafes and entertainment.

Burgas

Chernomorets

Another Bulgarian resort for a relaxing holiday with the family, which is absolutely not suitable for active youth. is located on a peninsula on the shores of a picturesque bay with a curved coastline. Here the tourist will find all the necessary infrastructure: grocery stores, restaurants, car rental. They are accommodated here mainly in guest houses and small hotels. For the most part, the development in Chernomorets is low, houses with 1-2 floors predominate. A good option for comfortable accommodation in Chernomorets is the 3-star hotels Atia Resort and Hotel Debi, from where you can reach the beach in just 4-5 minutes of leisurely walking. If you are going on vacation with a large company, then it is more profitable to rent an apartment on the Airbnb website for 4 people.

Chernomorets has two amusement parks, water sports, cafes and restaurants on the beach, and a botanical garden. The beaches of Chernomorets are very clean, located in cozy bays, so there are practically no waves here. The beaches are long (about 1.5-2 km), but at the same time quite narrow. Chernomorets is located a 10-minute drive from Sozopol, where you can go on an excursion after a long day at the beach. From water entertainments in the city there is a walk on a yacht, boats and catamarans, riding a banana, fishing.

Sozopol

Tourists who want to retire go to Harmanite beach with golden sand in the southern part of Sozopol. This beach is much wider and longer than the Central Beach and offers many water activities as well as beach soccer and volleyball courts. The Golden Fish beach is located north of Sozopol and is extremely popular among Bulgarians. There is a surf school and all the necessary beach infrastructure. A pleasure boat runs between Sozopol and Nessebar, but be careful - many people get sick on it.

Dunes

Far from the bustle of the city is the Dunes (or Duni) resort with a huge beach line. The dunes are located at a distance from the main road from Burgas, so nothing will disturb your rest here. The beaches of the Dunes have been awarded the blue flag. In total, there are 5 luxury hotels on the territory of the hotel, the most popular of which is the hotel complex Duni Marina Royal Palace Hotel on the first line by the sea with its own beach. The resort got its name due to the sand dunes stretching along the coastline for a distance of more than 4 km, width - no more than 100 meters.

The Dunes resort is surrounded by pine forests in a nature reserve. The local air has a healing effect. Sea in the Dunes with crystal clear water. The beaches outside the hotel complex are wild and unequipped; campers from different countries in tents like to relax on them, as well as nudists. On the beaches of the Dunes resort, beach sports and windsurfing are common.

Primorsko

If you are looking for seclusion from the crowds of tourists, head to Perla, a beach near the former residence of Todor Zhivkov. The beach here is located in a cozy bay. The water here is very warm, and you can rent a sunbathing tent for the whole company for 30 leva (15 Euro) per day. Entry into the water on Perl is very gentle and long, which is convenient for children. Perla can be reached on foot from North Beach, but be aware that you will pass through a strip of naturists.

The southern beach of Primorsko is more well-equipped: there are cabanas, showers, and restaurants nearby. In addition, food and drink vendors often walk along the beach, which is very convenient. Umbrellas and sun loungers are rented here for 6 leva per day - a little more expensive than on the North Beach. The southern beach is located very close to the main shopping street Primorsko - st. March, 3rd. South Beach has many private apart-hotels and guesthouses.

Kiten

Bulgaria is famous for its wonderful resorts located on the golden sands of the Black Sea coast. There are many popular beaches that are known to everyone, these include Kabakum Beach, located in Varna, as well as Cacao Beach in Sunny Beach and many others. But not far from the famous resorts, you can find secluded wild beaches with clear sea water and golden sand. There is no infrastructure on these beaches, but there is untouched nature, where you can enjoy peace and quiet.

Several wild beaches are located near the small resort village of Sinemorets - this is the southern point of the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria. Not far from these beaches are mountain ranges with oak forests. There are several beaches in these places. One of the most beautiful and cleanest beaches is the north beach. It is located in the national reserve, where the river Veleka flows into the sea. This beach provides a unique opportunity to swim in both river and sea water, as Veleka forms a lake in front of it and the beach is washed by the sea on one side and a mountain river on the other. There are often storms here, which gives a comfortable coolness during the active sun. There are no signs of civilization on the beach in the form of umbrellas and sunbeds.

Kabakum beach

Another beach is located near Sinemorets - Silistar. It has a wide coastline with fine sand and clear water. This beach is well suited for families with children. The beach is protected, so you can use some of the benefits of civilization here, for example, rent a sun lounger and an umbrella. Also on the beach there is a cafe and a rescue service. It is interesting to explore the surroundings of the beach, the nearest rocks, finding a rock with a human profile. There is an opportunity to fish.

There is a bay on the Black Sea coast, which is formed due to a rocky cape and forest. In this bay there is a central beach - "Butamyata Bay". It stretches for 1.5 kilometers. A river flows through the beach with soft white sand. The beach is not completely wild, as here you can go for a massage, there are many eateries and cafes on the coast. Vacationers can rent sunbeds and umbrellas.

On the territory of the Strandzha National Park is the village "Lipite", which is a real natural paradise. The beach offers a magnificent view of the mouth of the Veleka River, which flows into the Black Sea. There are many small beaches here, but the most beautiful and impressive is the Lipite beach. Basically, the area around is rocky, surrounded by dense forest. Here you can enjoy untouched nature. Since the beach is located in a protected area of ​​the national reserve, you can only get to it on foot. The car can be left in the parking lot located next to the central beach of the resort.

The longest beach is located in the nature reserve, which includes the Kamchia River and dense forest. It starts from the campsites "Paradise" and "Romance", and ends at the cape "Cherni nos". Some types of vegetation that grow here are found only in this area. You can go down by boat along the river, which flows through green tunnels formed by lianas and dense vegetation.

On the road from Varna to Burgas, near the fork of the villages of Byala and Goritsa, there is the beach "Karadere", to which there is no paved road, as there is no infrastructure. Near the beach "Karadere" are the beaches of the resorts of Shkorpilovtsi and Byala.

A popular beach among young people and nudists is Irakli Beach, located on the territory of the reserve of the same name. Here is untouched nature with beautiful vegetation, some species of which are listed in the Red Book of Bulgaria.

In the park of the Ropotamo Reserve there are such unique natural objects as the estuary of the Ropotamo River and the Arkutino swamp, in addition, dense forests grow here, in which various species of animals are found. Vehicles are not allowed in the park, you can only reach the beach on foot, leaving the car, outside the reserve. It will take 20 minutes and you will find yourself on a clean and beautiful beach where you can swim in the warm, gentle sea.

Ropotamo

In general, in Bulgaria there is a choice of a comfortable stay in high-class hotels and relaxing on a wild beach. The choice depends on the financial capabilities and desires of the tourist. Resting on a wild beach, you can get a charge of vivacity from unity with nature, which you never get on beaches crowded with people.

Bulgaria occupies a significant place in the ranking of comfortable places to stay among Russians. It is called a true health resort for people of all ages. Families with children prefer this resort for the long summer period, warm sea and soft sandy beaches. Taking into account the diverse requirements of tourists, let's look at the popular beaches, famous not only for desert and tranquility, but also for a large offer of services and entertainment.

Almost the entire long beach strip along the Black Sea coast has a convenient shallow descent into the water, a sandy shore, and developed infrastructure. Any beach area offers paid places with sun loungers and free areas for recreation.

Overview of the beaches of Bulgaria: Sozopol, Pomorie

Top ten best and most beautiful beaches

The length of the beach line in Bulgaria is almost four hundred kilometers. Conventionally, it is divided into northern and southern parts. There are a large number of hotels and hotel complexes of different categories.

Any beach area belongs to the municipal property, so the authorities monitor the cleanliness and maintenance of order. Resort hotels with beaches are also responsible for their maintenance.

The most well-groomed ten beaches were awarded the international Blue Flag award, awarded by UNESCO. Considering that they are very popular among vacationers from all over the world, we will dwell on them in more detail:

With different coverage

There are several types of beaches in Bulgaria by type of coverage:

Protected areas and hotels in Bulgaria with private beaches

There are luxurious beaches in Bulgaria located on the territory of hotels or protected areas. These include the Dunes resort. Only hotel guests can enjoy the picturesque sandy beach. Mostly families with children live there.

Another such beach is Irakli. It is also located in a protected nature reserve and is far from noisy resorts. This is an ideal place for those who seek solitude with nature.

The beach at the Admiral Hotel in the Golden Sands resort will not only amaze with white clean sand, comfortable wooden sun loungers, but also a convenient descent to the beach area. Mothers with strollers can take their babies to the sun loungers directly from the hotel.

wild and desert

For office workers, mired in the hustle and bustle, wild beaches are often of particular interest, where one could be alone with nature, turn on relaxation, fish or mussels. There are such places in Bulgaria, but usually there are no decent apartments for living nearby. You can stay there only at a campsite or at the owners of houses in neighboring villages, where there is a minimum number of amenities.

Seasoned tourists praise the Primorsky resort, located fifty kilometers from Burgas. It combines a highly developed infrastructure and affordable housing.

Deserted wild beaches are located in the Ropotamo reserve (located behind the holiday village of Zhivkov). From the city you can quickly get there by car. There are small shells and pebbles on the seabed, which allows you to see a lot of beautiful fish, crabs and shrimps when diving with a mask. In many areas, beautiful trees grow right by the water. Fans of sandy beaches will find them nearby, but they cannot be called secluded due to the large flow of tourists.

Which beaches are suitable for families with children

Going on a family vacation with children, parents usually have quite logical requirements for beaches:

• improvement;
• gentle entry into the water;
• playgrounds and entertainment;
• security;
• post with rescuers;
• an area with a canopy that creates a shadow;
• the presence of showers, toilets;
• delicious food in the cafe.

All these requirements are met by many beaches in Bulgaria. But which one to choose? We will focus on the most popular.

The beaches of Nessebar

Nessebar is located on a peninsula with rocks, but this does not mean that it is not suitable for families with children. Between the village and the resort of Ravda there is a cozy sandy beach, closed on all sides from the wind. The entrance to the water is very convenient for kids. Vacationers can stay on paid sunbeds under umbrellas or in the free zone. Nearby there is a children's playground with attractions.

Another suitable for children's recreation is the beach "Olympic Hopes". It offers interesting water rides, rental of catamarans and surfboards. Nessebar also has many family-type hotels with comfortable beaches, located right on the seashore.

For families with children, the beach "Olympic Hopes" is suitable.

Beaches of Pomorie

An excellent choice for families with children. They are covered with gray sand, which has healing properties. There are no cold currents, due to which the water heats up very well. The beach area is divided into equipped paid and free areas. It is equipped with a playground. The south side of the beach is better landscaped.

Families vacationing at this resort can go to the shell beach. There is also a good playground for children.

Beach "Saint Vlas"

A true place for a beach holiday. Warm water, hot air, fine sand - this is the best gift for kids. Next to the listed benefits, lush acacia alleys are laid out, creating a saving shade and giving tourists a pleasant aroma. The resort is surrounded by pine trees, thanks to which the air has healing powers.

It has its own yacht club. Right from the shore you can admire the beauties of Nessebar, and in the evening, if you have someone to leave your children with, get out to a beach party or a club in the resort of Sunny Beach, which is only two kilometers away.

“Saint Vlas is a true place for a beach holiday.

Beach "Sunny Beach"

Sunny Beach is the largest Bulgarian resort. The entrance to the water is very gentle, the beaches are sandy. At night, the breezes bring a pleasant coolness. Eight kilometers of coastline fit a hundred hotels, more than a hundred restaurants and cafes. For children, there are many playgrounds, swimming pools, water rides and slides.

Irakli beach

Located in the north of the Sunny Beach resort. It is considered one of the best due to the presence of a nature reserve, which is not built up with hotel complexes. The beach is almost always free. The pristine nature is perfectly combined with the developed infrastructure. The only drawback of this place is periodically cold water (the river flows here).

We bring to your attention an interesting video about the Kabakum beach, located in the "Chaika" area, 10 km from the center of Varna:

There are enough picturesque and well-groomed beaches in Bulgaria. It is difficult to choose the best among them, especially if you take into account the various tastes and requirements of vacationers. But the places listed here will definitely not disappoint you.

This amount may include some services, for example, rental of a sun lounger, free use of a shower with fresh water, and so on.

Rating of seaside resorts in Bulgaria: where it is better to buy property and relax with the whole family

Bulgaria is the most popular country among Russian foreign property buyers. In 2013, more than 10 thousand of our compatriots purchased local real estate. The most popular apartments are on the Black Sea coast of the country.

“Bulgarian seaside resorts are in demand for various segments of the population. Young people prefer big, noisy resorts; they have almost no opportunity to buy housing. Young families, as well as older people, like calm and quiet places, but some of them prefer cities because of the availability of medical care, better infrastructure and the possibility of renting out housing all year round. Some people prefer nice apartments in large resorts (in gated communities) for long stays or for renting out,” says Todor Stoyanov, Chief Financial Officer of Prime Property BG.

the site has compiled a list of the best resorts in Bulgaria for families with children and buying property. The rating is based on the following criteria: the quality of beaches, infrastructure and attractions, the level of security, the state of the environment, the cost of living and recreation.
