The first settlement appeared on this site more than one and a half thousand years ago. The relief of Byala can be described as hilly. The coast of this region is rocky shores with small bays, which limits the beach strip on one side, but on the other hand makes this place more picturesque.

The beach in Byala is mixed. The main part is occupied by a strip of fine sand, in which there are stones, there is a strip of shell rock near the shore, then there is a strip of coarse sand at the entrance to the sea. And then in the sea itself there are quite large and slippery stones, so it is advisable to enter the water slowly.
There are lifeguards on the beach, and there is also a medical team. As on other beaches in Bulgaria, you can use the opportunity to rent umbrellas, sun loungers, etc. In addition to the zone with paid umbrellas, there is also a zone for free use of the beach.
If you want privacy on the beach, just walk a few hundred meters to the side and there will be no one near you.

Pros of the resort
Cons of the resort
Conclusions
Byala is definitely an underrated and under-promoted seaside resort in Bulgaria. We were pleasantly surprised by such a neat and clean resort town. There are simply plenty of trash bins in the town, we have not seen such a large number of benches in other resorts in Bulgaria, and not only in Bulgaria. We can recommend Byala primarily to those who are looking for relaxation, privacy, but at the same time appreciate cleanliness and comfort. The price-quality ratio is the highest rating. Those who love noisy and active recreation will most likely be bored in Byala.
