Sunny Beach, Nesebar Holidays: Beach Breaks in Bulgaria
Sunny Beach in the Nesebar area of Bulgaria has long been one of the better value choices for UK families and couples after sun and sand. The long stretch of soft golden beach, warm summer weather and friendly prices make it an easy pick for a first trip abroad or a no-fuss week away.
It suits a wide range of travellers. Families like the shallow, gently shelving water and the easygoing pace by day, while groups and younger couples enjoy the lively bars and clubs that come alive after dark.
Where to stay in Sunny Beach
Tiara Beach is a 4 star all-inclusive resort in Sunny Beach, set near the Black Sea coast, which makes it a straightforward base if you want your food, drinks and beach time all close at hand.
Getting there and when to go
Sunny Beach is served by Burgas airport, a short transfer up the coast, with flights from several UK airports through the summer. The main season runs roughly from late spring to early autumn, with the hottest, busiest weeks in July and August. June and September are a little calmer and often more comfortable for walking and sightseeing.
Beaches and resorts
The headline draw is the beach itself, a wide band of fine sand that runs for several kilometres with a gentle slope into the sea. There is plenty of room for sunbeds, watersports and family games, and a long seafront promenade lined with cafes and shops. The historic old town of Nesebar sits nearby on its little peninsula and makes for an easy half day trip.
Food and things to do
Eating out is generally good value, with grilled meats, fresh salads and seafood widely available alongside familiar international dishes. Days can be as busy or as lazy as you like, from water park visits and boat trips to simply settling on the sand. The compact centre means most things are within walking distance.
Who it suits
Sunny Beach works well for budget conscious families, first time package holidaymakers and groups looking for a sociable beach base. If you want pure peace and quiet you may prefer somewhere smaller, but for sun, sand and value it is hard to beat.
