Take a stroll down Flower Street
Smack-dab in the middle of Sunny Beach, you'll find Flower Street. It's not exactly packed with blooms like the name suggests, but it is one of the only named streets in the area, and it has a ton of shops, bars and restaurants to explore. Think souvenir shops, pizza restaurants, beachy stalls, cosy bars - and even a Burger King, if you're missing a taste of home!
Give it your best slingshot
Real ones know what this is all about. Hands down the best ride at the fair. You'll find this beast along the pier, giving you the perfect beachy backdrop as you're launched over 100m into the air at 160 metres per hour. It's fast, it's intense, and it's definitely not for the fainthearted.
Explore Nessebar Old Town
We know what you're thinking - one of the things to do in Sunny Beach is leave Sunny Beach? Well, sort of. Nessebar Old Town is one of Bulgaria's most iconic tourist spots, and it's just a 15-minute drive from Sunny Beach, so it'd be rude not to. The cute cobbled streets are like something from an old Yorkshire town (but with more sun, obviously), decked out with gorg wooden houses and shops selling everything you can think of. Just a heads up that there are no public loos here though, so unless you're already eating out somewhere, you'll need to pay to use the facilities in one of the restaurants.
Have a paintball
We agree, it's a bit of an odd thing to do on holiday, but where there's a paintball park, there's a possibility! Whether you're away on a lads' holiday looking for some fun, or there's just a few of you looking for something different to do, this park offers 2-hour sessions with custom-built game zones and 100 paintballs each, so you can really get into it. Play safe!
Get your safari on
Day trips are always on the cards in Bulgaria, and Balkan safaris are up there with some of the most popular. Bundle into a 4x4 jeep with your fellow holiday pals and prepare for a day trip into the local village to get a taste of the food, culture, and - most importantly - wine. There are different packages you can book, but some even top the day off with a donkey ride before you head back to Sunny Beach. One word: epic.
Pamper yourself silly
There's practically a spa at every turn in this resort - what can we say? They love their R&R, and we're all for it. Most hotels have their very own spa on site so you don't even need to venture out, and it's your chance to indulge in a Jacuzzi dip, cheeky sauna sesh and a traditional Turkish bath experience - which, strangely, are super popular here. Don't knock it!
