All about Kabakum
Kabakum Beach is a small, picturesque cove nestled between green hillsides on the northern Black Sea coast, approximately eight kilometres south-east of Varna city centre. The beach is roughly three hundred metres long and composed of fine golden sand, tucked between low cliffs and dense vegetation. Despite its proximity to Bulgaria's third-largest city, Kabakum retains a relaxed, almost secluded atmosphere. Check the weather at Kabakum Beach today using the live forecast on this page — it shows the current air and water temperature, wind speed, wave height and UV index.
Kabakum is part of a string of cove beaches that line the coast between Varna and Golden Sands, each separated by rocky headlands and patches of forest. What sets Kabakum apart is its combination of accessibility and natural beauty — the beach is easy to reach from the city, yet the surrounding greenery and compact size give it a sense of seclusion that the larger resort beaches cannot match.
The sand is fine-grained and golden, and the water at Kabakum is among the clearest on the Varna coast. The rocky arms that embrace the cove help to calm incoming waves and keep the water relatively still on most summer days...
