Lozenets is one of the few places on the southern Bulgarian coast where a long sandy beach, wild coves under the cliffs and protected dunes are all within twenty minutes of one another. Here is what to expect from each of the beaches around the village.
The central beach of Lozenets
The closest one to the hotel — about 200 metres, a five-minute walk down the street towards the sea. It runs for close to a kilometre, with coarse sand and a gentle, shallow entry that suits children. Umbrellas and sunbeds are for hire, but there is plenty of free sand if you prefer your own towel. Bars, places to eat and water sports line the beach, and the fishing harbour sits at its northern end.
The beach faces south and is reasonably sheltered, but a strong easterly wind brings real waves — on those days the coves to the south are calmer.
Oasis beach
About two kilometres south of Lozenets, below the rocky shore. Smaller and quieter than the central beach, with coarser sand and a deeper entry. You reach it by asphalt road and then a flight of steps down, with parking at the top. The steep approach means fewer families with toddlers and more people looking for quiet.
Coral beach
Between Lozenets and Varvara, some 5 kilometres away. One of the last large wild beaches on the Bulgarian coast — dunes, a river mouth, almost no infrastructure and a long-standing camping crowd. Access is by dirt road; there are no umbrellas, no restaurants and no electricity. If you want nature with nothing around it, this is the beach; if you are travelling with small children and luggage, treat it as a day trip.
The small coves around the village
Between the central beach and Oasis the shore breaks up into small coves — among them Mechata Dupka, a shallow lagoon around a hundred metres long, reached on foot along the coastal path. The water there is warmer and calmer, and in June and September you often have it almost to yourself.
Further afield: Sinemorets and the Veleka
About 30 minutes by car to the south lies Sinemorets with its two beaches — Veleka, where the river meets the sea and forms a freshwater lagoon, and Butamyata on the other side of the headland. The view from the road above the river mouth is one of the best known on this coast. Further south are Silistar and Rezovo, right on the border.
To the north: Arkutino and Ropotamo
Some 15 kilometres north is the Ropotamo reserve — a boat trip up the river, Snake Island and the Lion’s Head rock. Arkutino beach at the edge of the reserve is wide, backed by dunes and almost undeveloped. On the way there is Beglik Tash, a Thracian megalithic sanctuary above Primorsko, about 14 kilometres from Lozenets.
In short
- With small children — the central beach of Lozenets, 200 m from the hotel.
- For quiet — Oasis or the small coves to the south.
- For nature — Coral, Arkutino, the mouth of the Veleka.
- For a day trip — Ropotamo and Beglik Tash.
From Lozenets Resort all of this is within half an hour by car, and the central beach is a five-minute walk.
