Sunny Beach (Bulgarian: Слънчев бряг, Slunchev bryag) is the largest beach resort in Bulgaria. It is situated in the southern part of the Bulgarian Black Sea Riviera. Stretching along a beautiful semicircular bay facing east. Closed to the north by the descending ridges of the Balkan Range, thus blending sea and mountain in perfect harmony.

Sunny Beach Halal Travel Guide

Sunny_beach_main - |Sunny Beach

Everything in Sunny Beach is centred around tourism. It feels more like a fairground than a city. It is a fairly new resort that has built from scratch since the 1960s, so it has little to do with other parts of Bulgaria. You might as well be in Salou or any other party town. There is a Blue Flag beach with soft sand, lots of things to do and places to eat and drink, so Sunny Beach is great for sun-lovers of all ages. In and around Sunny Beach you will find many places to stay, from cosy and friendly guest houses to huge and luxurious hotels that offer 24-hour entertainment for holidaymakers.

The tourist season is not very long. Things start to live up in the end of May with the start of high-school prom season since Sunny Beach is the most popular party destination for school seniors. By the beginning of June the resort works "in full speed". The season winds down around in mid-September when most shops start to discount and the clubs, cafes and restaurants that are still opened work smaller hours.

Nowadays and the neighbouring towns of Sveti Vlas to the north and Nessebar to the south have merged, figuratively speaking, with Sunny Beach because of the resort's expansion along the coastline.

Get Around

Halal Friendly Walking Tours in Sunny Beach

Easy and free!

By rail

The Tourist Train reaches only part of the boulevard. No regular timetable, runs when it's full. Can be a bit of a wait but the kids will love it. 3 sections: Sunny Beach North to Center, Center to South, South to Old Nessebar. 3 BGN per person per one way section.

By car

Cars are not very useful in Sunny Beach. Distances are small and the main streets are pedestrian only and traffic in Bulgaria is rather dangerous. That said renting a vehicle and driving along the beautiful coast isn't bad either.

By horse carriage

This isn't the fastest option, and it's dearly expensive but you travel in style. Around 40 BGN.

Travel on a Bus in Sunny Beach

The best, cheapest way to travel around Sunny Beach. Buses run up and down the primary street (Първа), and stop at bus stops, which are usually well marked and not too far apart.

There's a sightseeing bus between St. Vlas and Old Nessebar. Look for regular bus stops with a sightseeing bus sticker. Cheap enough to be used as regular mode of transportation. 2 BGN one way.

By ferry

Between Sunny Beach (Flower Street) and Old Nessebar. 10 BGN.

What to Do

The general routine to do is to go to the beach in the morning and have lunch either on the beach or at a nearby restaurant. (There are the most delicious jacket potatoes in the world!) Then recuperate for a night out to remember as you go to Sunny Beach centre and the boulevard for dinner and a little entertainment from a dino-cafe to mini-golf to bungee trampling! Every night you can change scenery between Sunny Beach, Nessebar and Sveti Vlas (though the latter is recommended during the day).

Watersports. You can try Parascending, Banana boats or hire Jet skis along the beach. Or take the bus into Nessebar where there are a couple of Dive schools for Scuba. (Nemo diving is on the right before you cross the causeway, and Angel Diving is on the harbour beyond the bus stop.

Rent a Car. Have a runabout to the left and visit the beautiful marinas and villas of Saint-Vlas or go right and visit the local town-Nessebar. The old town is a cosy peninsula with beautiful old wooden house sand is also a UNESCO legacy site and has great fish restaurants. The new town is bustling with restaurants and hotels while the backstreets may hide some tasty local produce!
