Bulgaria has mostly sandy beaches, the water is salty and therefore crystal clear, without rocks or rocks. Not surprisingly, hotel complexes occupy a large area of the coastline. It is very convenient for vacationers, but over time it can get boring. In search of wild beaches in Bulgaria, you need to move south from Sunny Beach and move along the sea. The beaches found will be wild with a slight touch of civilization in the form of a campsite or a cafe somewhere in the distance.

Around Sozopol

On its left bank there is the Laguna Beach Resort hotel, and on the right bank there is a campsite for vacationers. Thus, here everyone will find something to their liking – a hotel vacation or independent tourism. There is a wide sandy beach “Golden Fish”. It stretches for several kilometers, to the next town – Chernomorets. Therefore, there is enough space for lovers of laziness, sun loungers and umbrellas, lovers of sunbathing and swimming away from others.

Lozenets

Tsarevo and Ahtopol
The farther south, the cities are less reminiscent of tourist Turkey or Egypt. Often these are sleepy fishing villages where you want to stay and forget about the world around you. These are Tsarevo and Ahtopol. Both settlements are quite typical of the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria. Old moorings, boats moored to the shore, colorful stalls and streets typical of old Europe.

Sinemorets is the last town on the Bulgarian coast. Next comes Turkey. There are only a couple of hotels and almost no tourist infrastructure, so this is a paradise for lovers of wild holidays. People come here for tranquility and the melancholy atmosphere of the “end of the world”. The local rocky cliffs are covered with green meadows, the landscape is like from an Irish postcard. And of course the beaches. Among them, one is absolutely unique, located at the mouth of the Veleka River. Before it flows into the sea, a few hundred meters it goes along and the local beach boasts salt and fresh water. There are few tourists here and it is very calm.
