Latest reviews on Sozopol's beaches
Smokinya beach

Dalen Krenz
This beach is great - it's clean and not too busy compared to other Bulgarian beaches. The water is crystal clear at the far ends. Prices for umbrellas and sunbeds range from 6 to 10 leva, from what I saw. There are plenty of bars and restaurants, but no loud music during the day. You can also rent jet skis and go banana boating. If you're looking for a more natural and peaceful atmosphere, head to the far end of the beach when coming from Sozopol.

When we visited, Harmanite beach was quieter than the neighboring bamboo beach. It is a large beach with plenty of space to lay down your towel, unlike at Bamboo Beach. Additionally, they have a cozy little bar where you can enjoy a drink while watching the sun set.
Shofjorski beach

We absolutely adore Duni! It's hands down the ultimate destination on the Black Sea for families with kids. The aqua park boasts thrilling slides and numerous pools. The beach itself is spacious, while the sea remains tranquil and shallow. The entertainment program is top-notch, although we were disappointed not to see Ingrid this year. The disco played an excessive amount of techno music every night. While the Marina Beach Hotel is situated right on the beach, the other hotels in the resort are equally fantastic.

For consecutive days, they claimed everything was reserved when it was obviously not the case. I would not recommend it. The free area is limited and filled with rocks.
