The questions that concern you before leaving for Sunny Beach

Sunny Beach is the most famous seaside resort in Bulgaria. Before leaving for this entertainment center, many questions often arise. We have systematized them for you along with the answers.

What is the climate in Sunny Beach?

Sunny Beach is located on the Southern Black Sea coast of Bulgaria. It has a moderate continental climate, influenced by the proximity of the Black Sea.
Summer is hot and dry. Average temperatures are 27-30 degrees C in July and August. These months are the high season in the resort, favored by Bulgarian and foreign tourists. The water temperature during the summer is between 20 and 26 degrees - pleasant for sea bathing and water sports.
Spring and autumn are mild, with relatively high average temperatures – between 15 and 18 degrees. These seasons are calm and very romantic. They offer opportunities for walks and sports in the surroundings, exploring the natural and historical landmarks in the area.
Winter is relatively mild. Again, the influence of the sea is felt. During the winter season, most hotels and establishments are closed. This fact has been changing in recent years. The reason is that many Bulgarians and foreigners have purchased real estate and spend a large part of the year in the resort as permanent residents. The trend is even more intense after the pandemic, during which people started working online.
In conclusion, we can assert that the climate in Sunny Beach is wonderful for a summer vacation and for permanent living.
