To encourage resorts to keep clean, at the end of the beach year the cleanest beach and resort is chosen and awarded a blue flag. This means that the environment here is the best. In addition to the blue flag, a monetary reward is also awarded, which is also worth fighting for.

The waters of the Black Sea wash the Bulgarian coast with a length of 400 kilometers. All the resorts are located at this distance. Beaches and hotels of the country.

A relaxing seaside holiday in villas was valued here. But there are difficulties with the infrastructure: it’s inconvenient to get there by public transport, there are no good shops and supermarkets, and prices in local restaurants are high. In recent years, children's camps have also been organized at the Rusalka resort, so this resort is no longer suitable for a quiet and relaxing holiday.

The resort has an extended beach strip with a pier, a disco, swimming pools with sea and mineral water and a water slide. Only at the resort of St. Constantine and Helena the sandy beaches are not the ordinary sand that we are accustomed to, but small pieces of crushed quartz, which, when illuminated by the sun, shines incredibly beautifully. However, quartz sand is not only of extraordinary beauty, but also of great health benefits. Perhaps this is why many people prefer to walk along the sea coast barefoot, and during the day not everyone uses a sun lounger, enjoying the warmth of quartz. A balneological treatment center operates on the basis of a local hydrogen sulfide spring.

The resort of St. Constantine and Helena is a natural park with cypress and fig trees in a wooded area, a relief seashore, small quiet bays, peace and tranquility, healing mineral springs, a magical combination of sea breeze at an altitude of 25 m above sea level with forest coolness and the aroma of centuries-old trees.
