Golden Sands Holiday
Golden Sands is situated in the midst of the Golden Sands National Park - a richly wooded area of incredible natural beauty. It is also only 30km from Varna and is right on the Black Sea's gorgeous coast. The resort's beach is its major selling point - it's 3.5km long and as the name suggests, the sand glitters with gold. Being a purpose-built resort, there are also plenty of other attractions. These include sporting facilities, restaurants, nightlife and some shopping. Should you wish to venture further afield, Golden Sands is well situated for trips to Albena, St Konstantin and Varna.
You don't need to worry about children being bored in Golden Sands - there are plenty of attractions specifically for them. These include sports centres that offer organised competitions, games, pony riding and inflatable castles. Golden Sands is a resort for families and couples looking for sun and fun with beautiful views. Another of Golden Sand's attractions are the ancient mineral springs found throughout the resort.
Beaches
With such a long beach (3.5km) and a calm, warm sea it's no surprise that you'll find a huge selection of watersports here, including scuba diving, water-skiing and paragliding. Pedalos and umbrellas can be hired, as well as yachts, dinghies, motorboats, wind surfing boards and scuba diving equipment.
Shopping
The seafront promenade has numerous kiosks selling traditional style ceramics, embroidery, wood carvings and jewellery as well as modern souvenirs.
Nightlife
After dark the resort really comes alive with numerous cafés, bars and nightclubs, open until the early hours. Some hotels provide evening entertainment including discos, and several restaurants host folklore evenings.
Local Specialities
While traditional Bulgarian fare is still widespread amongst the restaurants in Golden Sands, many restaurants also cater for the Western palate and eating out is very cheap! There are also ample snack stalls and cafés to pick up a bite to eat.
