Dunes and silence

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.

Otmanli is the wild beach some 12 km south of Burgas city centre, inside Rosenets Nature Park. Its name comes from the lost village of Otmanli, whose inhabitants resettled in Kraimorie in the 1930s. Today the beach is empty outside the summer months.

The shore is bare — no sunbeds, showers or lifeguards. There is about 400 m of sandy strip with well-preserved dunes and a pine forest behind. The sand is fine, with a marked dark magnetite content — the same as at Sarafovo. To the north lies the small Chengene Skele fishing harbour.

Access is by car only or on foot from Kraimorie along a forest track (2.5 km, 40 min). Bring water and food — there are no shops in the area. Parking is free but limited. Camping is not allowed — the area is inside a protected zone.

Plan your beach day

Check the forecast, hop on a bus to the beach, lunch at a fishing tavern and stay for sunset. The centre of Burgas is within walking distance of the sea.
