Harmanite beach

If you have any self-respect and are looking for a place to unwind on the sand or enjoy the water, this is definitely not the place to go. As mentioned by other reviewers, the so-called life guards appear to be aggressive individuals with a sense of inferiority, possibly ex-convicts seeking to regain a sense of power by starting unnecessary arguments and fights with beachgoers who are simply minding their own business and trying to relax. Perhaps it would be wise to conduct interviews with actual tourists before launching any promotional campaigns for this beach. My advice is to check the news regarding this kind of service - it seems that unprovoked violence towards beachgoers is unfortunately more common along the southern coast than one would expect. And to top it off, they have the audacity to promote tourism to this place? Misery certainly loves company. Personally, I will ensure that my friends and family are fully informed about the extent of the degradation happening here. Furthermore, in terms of the state of the beach and sea itself, the supposed Blue Label for cleanliness does not align with what we witnessed at all. During a morning walk, we came across a large pile of empty plastic bottles scattered across the sand within a short stretch of beach. This is in addition to all the other plastic debris one must navigate when going for an early morning run. The amount of plastic trash is getting close to what we see in documentaries. Lastly, I strongly advise against purchasing food from the street behind the beach unless your immune system is as strong as someone who can swim in the Ganges River. I took a bite out of a roasted paprika and immediately spat it out - the insides were completely rotten. I dread to imagine the quality of the meat (although I was not daring enough to find out). I will be filing an official complaint.

The beach is stunning, with soft sand and crystal clear water that allows you to easily see the bottom of the Black Sea. If you prefer shade, make sure to bring your own sun umbrella, although there are plenty of vendors nearby selling them at reasonable prices (around 10-15 lev). There is paid parking available on the street along the beach or in a nearby parking lot, although I don't have any specific details as I didn't use it.

When we visited, Harmanite beach was quieter than the neighboring bamboo beach. It is a large beach with plenty of space to lay down your towel, unlike at Bamboo Beach. Additionally, they have a cozy little bar where you can enjoy a drink while watching the sun set.

The public shower facilities are not very good, so you'll need to head to one of the bars if you want a proper shower. However, the beach itself is absolutely beautiful, with its pristine sandy shores and crystal-clear water.

This beach is absolutely incredible. The sand is beautifully soft and pristine, while the water is generally clean. Occasionally, you may spot some seaweed floating around, but it's not a major issue. Moreover, there are numerous fantastic beach bars with reasonable prices, as well as plenty of fast food options. Without a doubt, this beach surpasses the other beach in Sozopol by a long shot.
