Beach in Sveti Vlas temporarily closed due to pollution
A beach in the resort town of Sveti Vlas, located in the Nesebar municipality, has been temporarily closed to visitors. The reason for the restrictive measures is identified seawater pollution, which poses risks to the health of vacationers.
Regional health inspectorates conducted emergency water quality checks in the area. The results of laboratory analyses showed the presence of Escherichia coli (E. Coli) and enterococci bacteria, which exceed the permissible safety standards.
These microorganisms are often an indicator of fecal contamination and can cause gastrointestinal infections or skin irritation upon contact with the water. Authorities made the decision to close the beach strip to prevent potential health problems among tourists and local residents.
Experts continue to monitor the situation and are conducting new water tests. The beach is expected to be reopened for public use only after the indicators return to normal levels and the water is declared safe for swimming.
Health authorities advise citizens to follow official information and not to enter the sea in areas where a ban is in place. The safety of tourists remains a top priority for the municipality during the active summer season.
