Sunny Beach

Sunny Beach, Beach located in Nessebar municipality

Sunny Beach is the longest and widest beach strip of the biggest summer resort on the Balkans with hotels spread along the coastline. It is situated in the southern part of the Bulgarian Black Sea Riviera.

The beach is a part of a wide semi-circular bay facing east and stretching over 8 km in length and 30-60 m in width. It has fine golden sand, natural dunes, a clean and gently sloping sea, no dangerous species, 1700 hours of sunshine from May trough October. The average daily temperature in summer is around 27°C.

Sunny Beach is closed to the north by the descending ridges of the Balkan Range, thus blending sea and mountain in perfect harmony. Lying to the south is the small peninsula on which the ancient town of Nessebar is located - an architectural and historic monument of Bulgarian and world culture.

Sunny Beach is famous for its natural dunes among which 16 rare plant varieties figured in the Red Book of Bulgaria grow. It is one of the few places along the Black Sea coast where one can still see genuine well-formed sand dunes - the most beautiful ones are situated in the resort's southern part.

The combination of coniferous and deciduous forests with sea and beach, unspoiled nature make your Sunny Beach holiday a true health holiday. The sea is safe and calm without tides. The beach is blessed by the invigorating air, carrying the freshness of the nearby mountains and the sea breeze which makes scorching days easy to bear and nights pleasantly cool.

Many interesting plants, some of which can be seen only along the coast, are preserved among the sands. Five of these are protected, and some included in the list of rare and endangered plant varieties in Europe.
