This amazing stretch of parkland (72,000 square metres) along the entire seafront of Burgas has got to be the city's biggest asset and attraction. There is so much to see and do within the park area that one could spend all one's leisure time in the Sea Gardens. Here you will find not only the usual type of eateries, ice cream stalls and playgrounds but also a summer open air theatre, а former casino turned cultural centre, an alley of sculptures, swimming pool, tennis courts, mini train and much more.
Many of the cities cultural events and festivals take place within these magnificent settings.
It is well over 120 years since the first of the huge shade-giving trees were planted and 100 years since the gardens were designed and laid out by the architect Georgi Dutev (whose small house is on the grounds) using a large collection of plants from around the world. To this day the gardens are meticulously maintained and cared for, a joy for all to behold. In the early summer evenings it gets extremely crowded here as everyone seeks respite from the summer heat.
