The South coast of Burgas Gulf is rocky, high and highly devoured by many capes and small gulfs. Big sand beaches aper on some places. The overall direction of the coast is Nort - West to Cape Akin, and West to Burgas.
Many riffs abear in front of the capes and islands, but not far than 0.3 n miles from the coast. One mile from the coast there are no navigation dangers.
Most important are Cape Agalina, Cape Kolokita, Kiril Peninsula, Cape Atia Cape Chukalia and Cape Foros.
Small ships can anchor in Port Sozopol, Port Atia, Port Druzba and Port Burgas and in the gulf of the Ropotamo River outfall, under Cape Kolokita and behind Cape Akin.
