Overview: Lying about 22 miles (35km) north of Bourgas, Sunny Beach is the
largest Bulgarian sea resort situated on a wide semi-circular bay
along the southern part of the Black Sea Riviera, with a five-mile
(8km) strip of beach backed by natural golden sand dunes, which is
regarded as the best beach along the coast. It is naturally
protected by the Balkan mountain range to the north, and with its
warm Mediterranean climate, clean and calm water and safe swimming,
it is a perfect all-round holiday destination, living up to its
motto ‘Where families come first’. Only the most
world-weary of visitors could get bored here among a wide variety
of activities and entertainment, including almost every kind of
sport imaginable and plenty of fun and games for children. The
resort comprises of more than 120 modern hotels, and offers a wide
range of services as well as organised day trips to surrounding
attractions, including the ancient town of Nessebur.
Shopping: Several big shopping centres provide plenty of opportunities to
search for clothes, souvenirs and food.
Restaurants: Over 130 restaurants and taverns cater to foreign tastes with a
wide range of cuisine. Eating establishments range from the
authentic British Red Lion pub for the homesick, and traditional
Bulgarian mehanas, to an unusual Bulgarian experience offered at
the Hanska Shatra (Khan’s Tent), which has a superb setting,
mosaic interior and live folk music, but is expensive and
touristy.
Nightlife: Nightlife is varied and ranges from nightclubs, discos, casinos
and bars, to cafes, folk-style spots and a variety of acts and
entertainment in the local taverns.
Activities: Besides sunbathing and swimming, the resort offers so many water
and land-based activities that it is impossible to get bored.
Sports include windsurfing, sailing, waterskiing, parasailing,
beach volleyball, mini-golf, horseriding, climbing, cycling and
tennis, and there are also fitness centres, swimming pools and spa
treatment centres. Coaches and equipment are provided. Children are
more than adequately catered for and will find an endless supply of
organised activities, competitions and playgrounds.
Negatives: The resort can get very crowded during peak season with over 100
hotels and two large campsites accommodating thousands of
visitors.
