Sunny Beach
Sunny Beach (or Slanchev Bryag) is about 3 miles (5km) south of St Vlas and is the largest Bulgarian sea resort. It is situated on a wide semicircular bay along the southern part of the Black Sea coast and has a five-mile long (8km) beach of natural golden sand dunes and is regarded as the best beach along the coast.
The resort is comprised of more than a hundred modern hotels, and offers a wide range of services as well as organised day trips to surrounding attractions, including trips to the ancient town of Nessebar.
Besides sunbathing and swimming, the resort offers many water and land-based activities. So, if you are looking for an active holiday it's unlikely you'll get bored, there's always something to do. Sports include windsurfing, sailing, water-skiing, para-sailing, beach volleyball, mini-golf, horse riding, climbing, cycling and tennis, and there are also fitness centres, swimming pools and spa treatment centres.
Children are more than adequately catered for and will find an endless supply of organised activities, competitions and play areas.
The resort can get very busy during the peak season but you can always leave it behind if it gets too much and return to the peace, quiet and much slower pace of Sveti Vlas. Nightlife in Sunny Beach is varied and ranges from night-clubs, discos, casinos and bars, to cafes, folklore style nightspots and a variety of acts and entertainment in the local bars. Several shopping centres in the locality provide plenty of opportunities to search for clothes, souvenirs and food. There are also stalls aplenty along the main promenade area.
