Chernomorets is a budget vacation alternative to nearby Sozopol or Dyuni. Not a resort per se, the village itself is not much to speak of; still, a flurry of recent construction has resulted in a buyer's market of attractive and well-built small and medium-sized pensions and hotels. One admirable local trait much in evidence is the presence of shrubbery and flower-filled garden courtyards attached to most pensions, restaurants and cafes. Chernomorets sits on a long promontory with the town proper separated from the sea by an expansive high grassy bluff replete with grazing livestock. Though there is no real beach to speak of, the rocky shoreline is pockmarked with shallow inlets providing secluded spots for swimming, sun bathing and fishing.

Chernomorets' location between Bourgas and Sozopol affords convenient access to either town for entertainment and nightlife; local offerings are mainly limited to cafe hopping. One of the finest beaches in the region is just south of town at the Gradina campground. It's an easy walk or a quick taxi ride along the pothole-filled access road.

Private vans depart at regular intervals from Bourgas (24 km; 30 mins,) and stop at Chernomorets enroute to Sozopol.
