  • filter_dramaUnderstand
    Sunny Beach is centered around tourism. It offers great parties, but is not a "traditional" Bulgarian small town.

    Sunny Beach is a popular holiday destination among many European countries. Probably the main variety of people visiting are young people (around 20s) attracted by the very well developed night life in the resort. Other part are foreign groups and families, mostly Russian and German. It may not provide too much activities for children, but many of the restaurants do have a small playground or such.

    There are no street names except Flower Street for the main pedestrian street from the main road down to the Beach Promenade and the pier.
    • Travel seasons

      Sunny Beach pretty much shuts down for winter. The season is often divided into three:

      Low season from beginning of May to mid-June, September

      Middle season: mid-June to (mid-)July, mid-August to September

      High season: (mid-)July to mid-August, or even until end of August

      However May is probably not recommended as even if some hotels are open, many restaurants etc. apparently don't open until June. Same goes for the end of season.

  • filter_dramaGet in
    • By plane

      Sunny Beach is usually entered via [wiki=99d90a58f2ae7d2ef9396128341b94d0]Burgas[/wiki] airport [http://www.burgas-airport.bg/Home/tabid/36/language/en-US/Default.aspx], which lies about 25km from Sunny Beach. There are domestic and international flights to about 116 destinations in 33 countries, by more than 69 bulgarian and foreign airlines.

    • By car

      International road I-9 (Burgas - Varna) is passing next to the resort.

  • filter_dramaGet around
    There are several places across the resort where you can rent some sort of personal transportation - electric scooters (gopet), bikes, rickshaws, segways, motopeds and other.
    • On foot

      Sunny Beach is not very large so you can cover it mostly on foot. The main beach strip with the beach bars and shops is about 2.5km long. As the shops, bars, and restaurants are mostly quite alike and the main areas of interest are pedestrians-only anyway there's little need for covering longer distances apart for just the fun of it.

    • By bus

      There are number of buses between Sunny beach and nearby settlements. Routes, timetables and prices are available [url=http://www.sbavto.com/en/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=45&Itemid=71]here[/url]. For short distances (e.g. to [wiki=9fd91eb896d8f33ff25dc06651741a1b]Nesebar[/wiki]) the ticket fee is 1 BGN (as of 2013). Buses are quite crowded during rush hours. Many of the buses have a section for people with strollers so using buses is a good choice for people with children as well.

    • By tourist 'train'

      Reaches only part of the boulevard and runs only rather short distances (e.g. the train from [wiki=9fd91eb896d8f33ff25dc06651741a1b]Nesebar[/wiki] takes you only to the southern part of Sunny Beach from where it is still 4km to the center). No regular timetable, runs when it's full. Can be a bit of a wait. There are multiple routes, so make sure if the train you see is the train you need. Ticket fee is 3 BGN in one direction (as of 2013).

    • By car

      Not very useful in Sunny Beach. Distances are small, the main streets are pedestrian only and traffic in Bulgaria is rather dangerous. The streets in the main resort area are also often dead ends or just loops so you cannot really get anywhere unless using the main road.

    • By horse carriage

      Not very fast but you travel in style.

    • By taxi

      Regular fee is 3 BGN/km (as of August 2012). However there might be some scammers, so check the tariff before you enter the cab and keep an eye on the counter.

    • By boat

      There is boat connection between Sunny Beach and [wiki=9fd91eb896d8f33ff25dc06651741a1b]Nesebar[/wiki]. The boat docks at the central pier and travels every 20 minutes.

  • filter_dramaSee
    Old Nesebar is part of the UNESCO heritage. There are lots of archaeological sites and old churches. Lots of shops and restaurants.
  • filter_dramaDo
    is one of the main reasons for Sunny Beach fame. It is over 5km long and about 30-60m wide. It is clear and not rocky. There are two main zones - near the shore is the "pay zone" where you have to rent an umbrella, and behind it there is the "free zone" where you can put your own umbrella. The price for a single umbrella or a chair is 8 BGN for the whole day (year 2013). You can rent an umbrella only if you find one without chairs, but as most of the umbrellas have chairs under them you end up paying 24 BGN for a day unless you're alone. Maximum number of persons per umbrella is four.
    *Water park and mini zoo covering an area of 36 000 m2 with 30 water attractions, thematic bars and restaurants.
    *Another water park located in Nesebar.
    • Scuba diving

      There are couple of dive shops in [wiki=9fd91eb896d8f33ff25dc06651741a1b]Nesebar[/wiki] offering courses and fun dives in the Black Sea.

      * Diving center located in the city of Saint Vlas, north of Sunny Beach

  • filter_dramaBuy
    There are a lot of shops and stalls everywhere, and especially in the central area. The selection in the stalls selling certain type of goods is pretty much the same in every such stall. Items are usually cheap and quality varies. It is not customary to haggle although sometimes shopkeepers spontaneously offer a promotion. Foreign currencies are not accepted, but there are plenty of exchange offices.

    Shops are selling well known brands but as a rule of thumb: if you see something in Sunny Beach it is probably a copy, regardless of the price.

    *The boulevard along the shore has hundreds of stalls, shops and bars. Peddlers will try to lure you in, but they are not overly pushy.
    *A shopping mall with about 100 shops. Selling mostly clothing from unknown brands.
  • filter_dramaEat
    There are various restaurants and kiosks selling food all over the settlement, but the variation among them is quite limited. The fast food stalls all serve pancakes, baked stuffed potatoes, pizza slices (3 BGN), and chicken kebab (7 BGN), and some also hamburgers. Majority of the restaurants have a very long and unfocused menu so you will likely find pizza, pasta, Mexican or Indian food etc. from the menu of a steak house. The upside is that food is cheap, and you should get your stomach full of tasty meat for less than 20 BGN.

    * is one of the top restaurants around. It is located just outside Sunny beach on the main road to Varna. There is show program each night and the view to Sunny beach is magnificent. It is not cheap, tough - a dinner for one could cost you 50-100 BGN.
  • filter_dramaDrink
    Most major beer brands are available. Local brands Shumensko and Kamenitza are cheaper (1-3 BGN for half a liter in restaurants, 1.5 BGN in supermarkets) and not bad.

    *Beach bar with DJ. Often crowded, but there's a nice party vibe. Service is rushed but correct.
    *Medium size dance club. Average age 20-30. Music: pop and dance.
  • filter_dramaSleep
    You should not have problem with getting a place to sleep. Literally almost every building you see there is a hotel. However, have in mind that in the summer season most of the places are already taken, so it would be better to not go without a reservation.

    *DIT hotel with nice big rooms and reasonably good food.
  • filter_dramaStay safe
    As all seaside resorts - be aware for thieves. Keep an eye for your belongings (especially when you are on the beach).

    The other main problem you may encounter are drunk people. Don't argue with people that seem affected by alcohol - some of them might become violent.

    There are some rumours of food poisoning. Don't eat food that doesn't look good. There are duners and kebaps sold at the streets that might give you a belly ache.

    Tap water is safe to drink as well as at most of the places in Bulgaria.
  • filter_dramaContact
    Most of the hotels have wifi zones. Some of them are open, other are paid hotspots.

    There are lots of paid phones along the resort streets.
  • filter_dramaGet out
    [wiki=fb19e331ab8bb5f46355c6e5e556b0e6]Nessebar[/wiki] is only a few kilometers away.

    Irakly is a wild beach nearby. It is popular among campers as it is a true opposite of the Las-Vegas-looking Sunny Beach.

    There is a bus station in Sunny Beach. There are regular bus routes to Burgas and Varna (buses to Burgas leaving every 20 minutes). There are also buses to other cities in Bulgaria - Sofia, Plovdiv, Stara Zagora, Vidin, etc...

    Burgas and Varna are major transport hubs and once you get there, you can go everywhere.
