The beaches of Burgas
Central Beach, North Beach, Sarafovo, Kraimorie, Otmanli and Rosenets — the beaches in and around Burgas stretch for more than 20 km, with fine sand, rocky coves and protected dunes. All are easy to reach by city transport or car.
North 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.
Sarafovo Beach
In the eponymous district 8 km north of the centre, next to Burgas Airport — about 1.5 km of sand and shallow water. Seaside restaurants, ideal for children.
Kraimorie
In the southern district 7 km from the centre — small rocky coves with crystal-clear water, great for snorkelling. Deeper entry, suited to swimmers.
Otmanli Beach
12 km south of the centre in Rosenets Park — a wild beach with dunes, part of a nature zone. No facilities or sunbeds — bring everything you need.
Rosenets Beach
15 km south in the eponymous nature park — a row of small sandy and pebble coves among pine forest. Cape Chukalyata is a favourite sunset spot.
Atlantis Beach
In the Sarafovo district — paid and free zones, lifeguards, a cycle path and stylish beach venues.
Sarafovo Port Beach
A small sheltered cove next to Sarafovo Port — calm water, fine sand and the romance of fishing boats.
Saltworks North Beach
Black, iron- and magnetite-rich sand next to the Burgas saltworks — combine sea bathing with curative mud and lye.
Kraimorie North Beach
Kraimorie's northernmost strip — Bay of Burgas panorama, easy access and parking nearby.
Kraimorie South Beach
Kraimorie's southernmost strip — soft sand, clear water and quiet away from the crowds.
Chengene Skele Beach — Fishing Village
A small beach at the Chengene Skele fishing village — boats, seafood, a camper zone and water sports.
Rosenets Terminal Beach
A small, wild strip near the Rosenets oil terminal — rocks, dense vegetation and seclusion.
Tip
For the quietest beach at peak summer, try Kraimorie or the northern end of North Beach — there's always space. The finest sunsets are at Kraimorie and Rosenets.
