Golden Sands, Bulgaria
The world famous Golden Sands resort on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast in Bulgaria has been awarded the International Blue Flag award as an ecologically clean region. Planned as a quiet holiday zone, Golden Sands stretches along the beautiful nature and coolness at the foot of the protected Nature park Golden Sands, which preserves its natural look and reaches the beach. Golden Sands is named after its famous golden sand on the 100m wide and about 4km long beach. Golden Sands is famous as the pearl of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast because of its natural beauty - wonderful climate, unique nature park, exquisite golden sand and healthy hot springs.
As most of the rest of the world, Bulgaria experienced a construction boom in its beach and ski destinations in the last few years, including in Golden Sands. In earlier times, the resort had about a dozen large hotels, fairly spread out, with outside restaurants in-between. Now, the old hotels have been thoroughly renovated and some of the space between them has been filled with new developments. There are a number of apartment buildings in addition to the hotels where one can rent a holiday apartment from a private owner, often at a good discount. Despite the active construction of the last several years, Golden Sands has not become a sprawling beach resort as Sunny Beach due south. The surrounding mountain hills and protected forests have limited development, and this is good news for many tourists who prefer smaller, cozier beach destinations. In fact, Golden Sands is generally considered the more upscale of the two largest beach reports in Bulgaria.
For international tourists, Golden Sands is easily accessible via the Varna international airport. Varna is the largest city on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast and boasts the title "sea capital". It is in fact a beautiful city with a large pedestrian center and a spacious old sea garden along its beach. Traveling between Varna and Golden Sands is made easy by regular public transportation. It takes about half an hour to get from one to the other. Therefore, many people stay in Varna and go the beach at Golden Sands and many people who stay in Golden Sands frequent Varna.
The tourists come from a mixture of Western European countries, including France and the UK, and from Eastern European countries including Russia and Poland and, as of late, from Romania. After entering the European Union, it became quite easy for Romanians from Bucharest to visit Bulgaria as the Bulgaria-Romania border is only 60 km from Bucharest.
