Gradina: The Camping and Surfing Hub of the South Coast ⛺🏄
Gradina is a beloved coastal area on the Southern Bulgarian Black Sea coast, situated between the historic town of Sozopol and the nearby town of Chernomorets . It is primarily famous for its extensive camping site and its long, wide beach featuring fine to medium sand .
Vibe and Atmosphere
Gradina is known for its authentic, bohemian Bulgarian coastal experience. It attracts a mixed crowd: traditional campers, families, and a significant population of surfers (windsurfing and kitesurfing) due to favorable wind conditions in the area. The atmosphere is generally lively and youthful during peak season, but less commercialized than the large resorts.
Beach and Amenities
The beach is long and wide, providing ample space even during the busiest summer months. The Black Sea waters are typically warm, shallow, and safe for swimming. Standard beach amenities (sunbed/umbrella rentals, food services, changing rooms) are available during the summer season (June-September) .
