When to visit the Bulgarian coast?

For sun and beach lovers, the best time to visit is between May and October, but prices are also highest then. July and August are unbearably hot, so we do not recommend traveling during these months. On the other hand, March and April are suitable for observing nature, and the temperatures are much more pleasant.
