The beaches of Burgas
From Central Beach to the rocky coves of Kraimorie — six beaches of different character within the city limits.
Central Beach
The main city beach, right beside the Sea Garden — about 2 km of fine sand, gentle entry, guarded, with showers and beach bars. A 5-minute walk from the centre.
ExploreNorth Beach
5 km north of the centre, between the sea station and the Sarafovo district — a 1.8 km wide beach with dunes and fewer crowds than the central one. A favourite with surfers.
ExploreKraimorie
In the southern district 7 km from the centre — small rocky coves with crystal-clear water, great for snorkelling. Deeper entry, suited to swimmers.
