Sunny Beach
Слънчев бряг
Bulgaria's largest seaside resort, with about 8 km of fine sand and hotels and bars lining the shore. In summer it is the liveliest beach party destination in Eastern Europe.
Sunny Beach lies north of the ancient city of Nessebar and is the largest resort on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast. Its wide, gently sloping golden sand beach stretches about 8 km, and the shallow water makes it suitable for families. The resort has hundreds of hotels, restaurants and shops. On the beach you can try jet skiing, paragliding and banana boat rides, and sunbeds and parasols must be rented for a fee. The main street and beach bars and nightclubs are lively at night, making it a summer party destination for young Europeans. For a quieter stay, choose the southern end near Nessebar or the northern end near Sveti Vlas. Outside the season, from October to May, most hotels and shops close.
