GOLDEN SANDS (ZLATNI PYASÂTSI) |

Tourists generally balk at pronouncing Zlatni pyasâtsi, so most Bulgarians along the coast will understand if you say "Goldstrand" or
GOLDEN SANDS
instead. It's a polyglot place: of all the nationalities here, Germans predominate, and two members of the 2nd of June terrorist group were actually arrested here in 1978 after being recognized by a West German prison warder who, like them, was on holiday. The resort's myriad hotels occupy a wooded, landscaped strip behind Zlatni pyasâtsi's greatest asset, its
beach
: a soft, pale golden expanse 4km long, sloping gently into an undertow-less sea.
Golden Sands also offers a wide range of bars, restaurants and discos; and
activities
such as scuba diving, waterskiing and paraskiing are offered by kiosks along the beach. The strolling areas behind the beach feature well-tended gardens, outdoor pools, and plenty of sports facilities for children. A group of hotels at the southern end of the resort operates separately under the name of the Riviera Holiday Club, site of the
Imperial
hotel.
