Nude Beach Map. Visited 2023
Nirvana Beach is one of the busiest nude beaches in Bulgaria. That’s not a bad thing; just don’t expect a wild or expansive beach with miles of room to move. There are plenty of other wild beaches nearby that are also worth a visit, the closest being Baltata in Albena. The beach stands out from the sanitized resort beaches and offers a much-needed alternative. One section is textiles-only, but the other part of the beach closest to the cliffs is nude-only – this is not optional.

Almost everyone here is a tourist, mostly young families and couples from nearby hotels who have made the trek for a day in the sun. The snack bar on the beach is a great place for conversation, and the owner is a lively guy who will definitely point you in the right direction if you’re after local advice. Have a homemade shot of rakia if you really want to get the local experience! You can also eat and drink in the nude if you wish, which is cool.
We’ve come to this beach several times over the last couple of years and had a great experience. The sand is perfect and on a peaceful day, the water is calm and warm. Be aware that the wind can pick up quickly in this part of the world with waves suddenly appearing on the Black Sea. While the beach is only relatively small, it has everything you’d want for a city beach. We were very comfortable here as ‘newbie nudies’ a few years ago and happily spent all day here au naturale without any complaints.
Nearby Laguna Beach Resort is a hidden gem and highly recommended if you want to avoid the concrete jungle hotels in Golden Sands. You can literally walk from the resort to Nirvana Beach without leaving the sand. The cottages here are basic but clean, and camping is also available. Note that you can’t be nude on Laguna Beach or the resort grounds, but it is only a short walk to freedom! We were warned that sometimes ‘erotic behavior’ occurs in the section under the cliffs between Laguna Beach and Nirvana Beach – we’ve never experienced this until our last visit when it appeared two people were engaging in some ‘extra beach activities’. However, upon seeing us, they appeared very embarrassed and quickly ran off the beach. So, it’s safe to say that this doesn’t happen regularly and is definitely not intended to be out in the open.
Nirvana Beach is the best beach in Golden Sands by far. Okay, we’re totally biased, but even without the nudity, this section of sand is a small slice of paradise. It’s a great place to get nude for the first time – we did and had no regrets. You’re also spoiled by the tasty food and drinks at the beach bar. It is slightly more expensive than elsewhere but worth it for the location and cheap by international standards. If you do get bored, there are jet skis and standup paddleboards in the textile section that you can rent. Bulgarian nude beaches are some of the best, and even their city beaches don’t disappoint.

Nearby Accommodation
Laguna Beach Resort -
The closest accommodation to the nude beach. It's a short 5min stroll along the sand and you're on Nirvana Beach. So easy.
Bonus that it feels like you're staying in a secluded park, rather than a few blocks from the gigantic resorts of Golden Sands.
Staff are friendly and the restaurant here is affordable + very tasty! The bungalows are basic but clean. Nudity isn't allowed here or on Laguna Beach - but you are very close to the nude section.
Getting There
There is plenty of parking available near Nirvana Fish Restaurant. It's been said that during peak times, you may need to pay a small cash fee for parking, but we've never experienced this in June or July.
Access from any resort in Golden Sands is very straightforward - just walk until you pass the marina, and you'll easily spot Nirvana Beach. Alternatively, you could catch the mini-train to save some energy. It costs 5 leva from the furthest point on the beach to the marina. From there, it's less than a 5-minute walk to the beach.
