Perfect blend of windsurfing and beach resort amenities
Obzor is a charming beach resort town that offers the perfect combination of windsurfing opportunities and holiday amenities. Located between Varna and Burgas, this spot features a long, sandy beach with mixed conditions that cater to all skill levels.
The beach is protected by Cape St. Atanas, creating a unique bay that offers both flat water sections near the shore and small waves further out. The thermal wind typically blows from the east, creating cross-shore conditions that are ideal for progression. The spot is particularly popular with families and those who want to combine windsurfing with a traditional beach holiday.
