Description
One of the last wild beaches (2,5 km long) in Bulgaria next to a coastal marsh with water vegetation. Good combination of habitats, which can produce interesting sea, marsh and terrestrial birds in all seasons. One of the best places to observe bukdosó vészmadár, Parlagi pityer, békászó sas and Kis kárókatona at the same time. In winter time törpegém, Sarki búvár, Füles vöcsök and other can be observed.
