Beaches

Sozopol is famous for its wonderful beaches, which attract tourists from all over the world. Whether you are looking for lively coastlines or quiet corners, this ancient Black Sea town offers a beach for every taste. Let's take a look at the best beaches in and around Sozopol.

Sozopol Central Beach

The central beach is located in the heart of Sozopol and is ideal for visitors who want to be close to all amenities. The beach offers crystal clear water and fine sand. Here you will find numerous restaurants, bars and shops in the immediate vicinity, making it perfect for an all-day stay.

Best time to visit: June and September when it's less crowded but still warm enough for swimming.

Harmanite Beach

Harmanite is the second city beach of Sozopol and is located in the new part of the city. This spacious beach is popular with families with children due to calmer waters and a gradual increase in depth. The beach has all the necessary facilities, including umbrellas, sun loungers, water sports and catering.

Interesting fact: Harmanite is one of the longest beaches in the area and offers impressive views of the old town.

Kavacite Beach

About 4 km from the center of Sozopol is the beach Kavatsite (also known as Smokinya). This is one of the most beautiful beaches in the area, surrounded by greenery and rocks. The water here is crystal clear, and the sand is fine and golden. Even at the end of October, the sand remains warm, and the water is not too cold for swimming.

How to get from Sozopol Holiday Village: You can take the regular bus or taxi (about 10 minutes drive). Alternatively, the walk takes about 40-45 minutes on the coastal path, which offers incredible views.

Camping beaches: Goldfish, Garden and Tsarsky beach

For those looking for a more authentic experience, the beaches around the campsites Zlatna Rybka and Gradina, as well as Tsarski beach, are ideal. These beaches are located about 8-10 km from Sozopol and offer a less commercial atmosphere. Here you will find spacious sandy strips and crystal clear water.

What to take with you: Water, sunscreen, hat, food and drinks (although there are several establishments), since these beaches are not as well equipped as urban ones.

Practical advice for beaches in Sozopol
