The best sea beaches and resorts in Bulgaria for summer vacation.

If you're still not sure what to do this summer, it may be helpful to know that Bulgaria is one of the affordable and underrated summer vacation destinations. It is home to some of the most beautiful beaches on the Black Sea. If you are looking for a reasonably priced vacation destination, Bulgaria is the place for you. In this article, we have compiled a guide to the most beautiful beaches in Bulgaria.

Along the 378 kilometers of coastline you will find rich blue seas, beaches for fun and more secluded beaches.

The Bulgarian coast facing the Black Sea is famous for its beautiful sandy beaches to suit everyone: there are perfect beaches for parties, for sports and secluded places for camping enthusiasts.

We can divide the Bulgarian Black Sea coast into two parts: the North Coast and the South Coast.

On the north coast you will find Varna, the second most important city, as well as other more famous places such as St. Constantine and Helena, Sunny Day, Golden Sands and Albena. And on the southern coast you will find the most beautiful and secluded beaches. As you move south from Varna, the landscape changes, the hotels give way to spectacular panoramas, forests and wild beaches until you reach Resovo.

The Bulgarian coast is characterized by wide golden sand beaches, mostly crowded, and small secluded bays (some of which are narrow and rocky).

You will find beautiful beaches in cities, among the most famous resorts or away from the population centers, hidden from everything but the sea. Here is a guide to the most beautiful beaches on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast.
