Listi Beach

Listi Beach is a wild, largely untouched cove on Bulgaria’s southern Black Sea coast, about 4 km south of Sinemorets. It lies between Lipite and Silistar beaches and is reached only on foot via a narrow coastal trail, roughly a 30-minute walk from either side. The sandy strip is around 400–500 m long, broken by rocky outcrops that reach the water, and backed by low hills and forest, which keeps the place quiet and secluded. There are no lifeguards or facilities, so visitors usually come prepared and the beach is often used by naturists. The name “Listi” is linked to the Greek word for “pirate/raider,” echoing local tales of pirate hideouts along this shore.
