BeachPlease displays an estimate of the beach safety flag and bathing conditions. This is NOT the official lifeguard flag and carries no legal weight. On guarded beaches always follow the lifeguards on duty and the flag flying at the beach itself. On unguarded beaches you enter at your own risk — typically there are no lifeguards.
Data sources
The beach list comes from the Bulgarian Ministry of Tourism (Order T-RD-16-131/21.04.2026 for unguarded beaches). Weather forecasts come from Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0) and Copernicus Marine Service. Water quality classification comes from the European Environment Agency under the Bathing Water Directive 2006/7/EC. Data is refreshed automatically, but umbrella/sunbed prices may be from previous seasons.
