1. Coral beach
One of the most unspoiled beaches on the Bulgarian seaside is definitely Coral Beach. If you plan on going there you should keep in mind several important things.
First of all, there are no facilities like umbrellas and sunbeds at all so you may as well consider bringing your own. It is a completely virgin nature. As you have probably already guessed there is no lifeguard on duty nearby. And any little restaurants or shops are really hard, if not impossible, to come by. So maybe bring some snacks and a few bottles of water with you, just in case.
As you will probably figure out by the end of this article, the only way to reach most of those secluded pristine beaches is by car, and that is not the hardest part of the way there. Since the roads that lead to them are usually bumpy, not maintained and are considered an off-road experience.
Coral makes no exception. The road that leads to the beach is really rough but believe me, the crystal clear water and the incredibly pure and are worth the adventure.
2. Irakli beach
Irakli is a beach that is just about 40 km away from Burgas and is considered one of the purest and untouched beaches on the Bulgarian seaside. It is situated in a protected area designed to preserve the wild birds and nature in the region. So you can really expect to find yourselves in the most virgin of nature. Just a warning – the road that leads to the beach is probably the worst you’ve ever seen and it is really a hard task to reach the final destination, but all that struggle will pay off once you set foot on the most beautiful Bulgarian beach.
Irakli is a really popular spot among Bulgarians. People flock there from all over the country and some of them even spend the entire summer camping there. Unlike most of the other beaches on this list, you are likely going to meet a lot of people here, especially if you decide you want to spend July morning in the area. Irakli is one of the most famous July-morning spots in the country and it gets really crowded at that time of the year.
But no matter how many people are there, Irakli still remains one of the most peaceful places on the Bulgarian seaside. You can spend some amazing days enjoying the pristine waters and immaculate sand there.
3. Shkorpilovtsi beach
With the stunning length of 10km’s Shkorpilovtsi is considered the longest beach in Bulgaria. There is a village, bearing the same name as the beach, on the southern side of the long coastline.

So if you are looking for seclusion, you are guaranteed to love Shkorpilovtsi. Bear in mind that this beach is secluded and there is no lifeguard on duty almost anywhere on the extremely long, stretching coastline. So you better approach the water with caution especially if you are not a skilled swimmer.

4. Bolata beach
The next site has recently made its name famous as one of the most beautiful bays in the entire world. Bolata Bay is an extremely popular destination, but it gets really packed up with people only on weekends. So if you consider visiting this breathtaking place, do it during the week.
Once again you should really keep in mind the fact that the road that leads you there is bumpy, not maintained and an overall nightmare. But that is one of the side effects of virgin, untouched nature. No matter how scary the way there sounds, you really should gather the courage and check the place out. It is perfect for anyone.

There is also no lifeguard and places to grab a portion of food or a drink. If you want to enjoy the day at Bolata Bay do bring some water and snacks for you and your companions and don’t forget to take photos of the astonishing nature that surrounds you.
5. Kamchia beach
Kamchia Beach is situated near the resort with the same name. So here you should really expect to come across a lot more people than in any of the previous spots. There is a good chance, however, if you take a walk away from the resort to reach the secluded and really picturesque parts of the beach.
The real beauty of this place comes from the clash between forest and water right at the mouth of the Kamchia river, which makes its way down across to the sea. The intriguing mix of forest wildlife and beautiful sceneries makes up for a good opportunity to take a long float with a boat down the Kamchia river and explore the interesting sites it has to offer. A piece of small advice you anyone willing to explore the river lands – bring a mosquito repellent with you!
One last piece of advice – be especially careful if you are with your family. Under no condition should anyone swim in the river and always be a little cautious since there is no lifeguard on duty.

10. Silistar
The last beach in our list is probably the one that has the most to offer both in terms of facilities and in terms of staggering natural beauty.
Silistar beach offers all of the much-needed facilities such as showers, changing spots and a lifeguard. You needn’t bring your own umbrella as well since there are some options available. There is even a small beach bar to supply you with anything you may possibly need.
It may seem as if this beach is not secluded or untouched enough to match the rest in this list, but in fact, it is really a deserted place most of the time. Not many people go there, especially in the week. During weekends it gets a little bit busier but still, it is a really calm and secluded place since the road that leads to the beach is once again a really hard one to overcome.
The beach is surrounded by a huge, beautiful forest which is part of a nature reserve. So anything there is as pure and beautiful as it can possibly be.
