Sunny Beach (Bulgarian: Слънчев бряг, Slunchev bryag) is the largest beach resort in Bulgaria. It is situated in the southern part of the Bulgarian Black Sea Riviera. Stretching along a beautiful semicircular bay facing east. Closed to the north by the descending ridges of the Balkan Range, thus blending sea and mountain in perfect harmony.
Beach bar with DJ. Often crowded, but there's a nice party vibe. Service is rushed but correct.
Medium size dance club. Average age 20-30. Music: pop and dance.
Penny Market is a discount supermarket at the roundabout between Nessebar and Sunny Beach. Prices are about half compared to the small supermarkets in Sunny Beach.

If you're a more ethical traveller, Janet (at the end of Flower Street, also a larger store out-of-town) has a decent selection of fresh produce. Deep inside Janet is a surprisingly large range of vegan cheese. Also inside Janet is a large meat aisle with good plant alternatives. Once you're inside, you may notice that you have to pay for any toiletries in a small section on the first floor.
By plane
Closest airport is Burgas Airport (BOJ).
By train
Closest railway station is Burgas Central railway station (Централна железопътна гара Бургас). You can get trains from Sofia, Plovdiv and many other cities to there.
By bus
Buses are best and cheapest (besides walking) way to travel around Sunny Beach. Buses run up and down the main road (Първа), and stop at bus stops, which are usually well marked and not too far apart.
By train
The Tourist Train reaches only part of the boulevard. No regular timetable, runs when it is full. Can be a bit of a wait but the kids will love it.
By horse carriage
This isn't the fastest option, and it's dearly expensive but you travel in style. Around 20 €
By car
Cars are not very useful in Sunny Beach. Distances are small, the main streets are pedestrian only and traffic in Bulgaria is rather dangerous.
By boat
Between Sunny Beach (Flower Street) and Old Nesebar. 5 €
