Primorsko

Primorsko sits on a peninsula along Bulgaria's southern Black Sea coast, tucked between two bays in the Burgas Province. With 2,786 residents recorded in the 2021 census (NSI), it has kept the feel of a small town and stayed quiet, well away from the bustle of large resorts such as Sunny Beach. The town gives its name to the surrounding municipality, which describes itself as the first new municipality to form in the Burgas region after 1989. Nature defines the place. Long, wide stretches of sand run along the shore, and just north of town lies the protected Perla Sand Dunes natural landmark, where the crests rise to 19 metres. Burgas Airport is about 39 kilometres away as the crow flies, roughly a short hour by road. Buyers looking for a grounded coastal address outside the mass-tourism circuit can turn to Svetlana locally.
