Saut biych

Saut biych (South Beach) is one of the stretches of shore in Sveti Konstantin i Elena, set north of Varna within the park-like landscape of pines and shady trees that gives this old Bulgarian coastal resort its charm. The mood is calm — well suited to a beach day away from the bustle of the bigger resorts.

The beach is golden sand with a gentle, gradually deepening entry — the profile that works for families with children and more cautious swimmers. The Black Sea here is less salty than the Mediterranean and warms up well at the height of the season, with usually small waves.

The swimming season runs roughly from May to September, with the water at its most pleasant in July and August. Saut biych suits families and anyone after an unhurried day by the sea. It is an easy drive from Varna, or reachable by the resort's local transport. Bring an umbrella, water and beach shoes; for sunbeds and drink stands, check availability at the beach itself, as it varies from season to season.
