Latest reviews on Bulgaria's beaches

Plyazh Panorama
8 Dobby G.

This beach in the area is well-equipped with facilities such as a car park, bar, toilets, umbrellas, and beach beds, all of which require payment. The beach is relatively clean, although the sand is naturally filled with broken shells.

Plyazh Papaz Kulak
2 Kasparov Ivanov

There are two pipes that directly release waste water and napkins into the sea, which is quite repulsive to see.

Varna beach
10 Aria Mieder

The beach is absolutely amazing! It's spacious and pristine, with the added bonus of having white sand. Lifeguards are present, and the gentle slope into the sea makes it easy for children to enjoy safely. Plus, it's never too crowded.

Plyazh Sahara
10 Enduring Cybernetic

The beach was absolutely stunning, with immaculate cleanliness and exceptional maintenance. I enjoyed a delightful lunch beneath the pier in my canoe, taking in the breathtaking views on a scorching day. The serene atmosphere was further enhanced by the sight of tiny jellyfish gracefully gliding through the water. Overall, it was an incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating experience.

Nessebar beach
6 Nestor Marianov

This Bulgarian beach, while undoubtedly popular among families, is a victim of its own success. The clear water and shallow depth for a considerable distance from the shore make it an attractive destination, but the sheer number of visitors leaves little room to breathe. If you're looking for a peaceful, solitary beach experience, this is not the place for you. However, if you don't mind jostling for space and sharing the sand with countless others, then this beach might just be your cup of tea.

Veleka beach
8 Alexei Zunov

Veleka beach is a truly one-of-a-kind destination in Bulgaria, with its golden sand adding to its allure.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 92 beaches in the country, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

Do you know how many beaches there are in Bulgaria? In total there are 135 beaches and the most popular is Rappongi beach.
