Founded in the 3rd century, Byala has interesting history. Remains of an ancient fortress can still be viewed and the historical white cliffs (hence the name Byala, “white”) that surround the secluded sandy beach have been found to contain dinosaur remains. Once there was an ancient Greek fortress, named Aspro, in the neighbourhood. Before the reunification of the Bulgarian state in 1885, the border between the Bulgarian Principality and Eastern Rumeliya passed through the town of the Byala.
Only 5 km away lies Obzor a nice coastal town that is suitable for days or night trip. At the coast, one can see a protective bank, dating back to the early years of the Bulgarian state (8th-10th century), while the area around the St Atanas Monastery holds remains of an ancient fortress. The wine of the extremely fine Dimyat vintage is also produced in the village. There is a nice and sweeping view to the sea and the neighborhood.

It also boasts an impressive setting atop bluffs that end abruptly at the water’s edge. Stairs lead down to a secluded beach that curves north toward rocky Cape Atanas. To the south, another promontory separates the small sandy strip from the beach at Obzor. Bjala with its favorable conditions – crystal sea water, sandy beach and a forest – offers wonderful opportunities for recreation.
 

Besides numerous small pubs and restaurants, the wonderful roadside Jackson Restaurant can be found to the north on the road to Staro Oryahovo. One can also take a ride or a walk to Obzor, which is just 5km away, for fun, shopping or outdoor food.

Transport is readily available with regular buses to Varna and private taxis. The village is famous and well developed with a few local shops, a nice Church. A long beautiful wide curved sandy beach borders the bay of Byala. The waters close to the shore are crystal clear and great for family bathing. It is an excellent beach resort where you can spend the best vacation with your family!
