OBZOR

The beach at Obzor, one of the most highly rated stretches of sand on the southern Black Sea coast. The town of Obzor lies between Varna and Burgas, where the Balkan Mountains slope down toward the shore, and the beach opens wide and bright in front of the resort. Obzor has a calm character, less crowded than the larger resorts, ideal for those who want both sea and quiet on the same holiday.

The sand is golden and fine, and the sea entry is gentle, sloping away gradually: the water deepens steadily, with no sudden steps, which keeps the shoreline safe and welcoming for relaxed bathing.

Good to know The swimming season generally runs from May to September, with the warmest water around midsummer. The fine sand and gentle entry make it especially suited to families with children. As Obzor sits right on the Varna–Burgas road, the easiest way in is by car from either city and its airport. Come with sun protection, water and your own umbrella for guaranteed shade, since facilities can vary along the beach.
