The resort of Roussalka was established in 1968 in the famous Taoukliman (Bay of the birds). This is a typical bird’s colony in a pretty rocky area near the sea. It is 14 km east of the town of Kavarna, 59 km north-east of Varna, 529 km north-east of Sofia and 1 km away from the small village called St. Nikola. In the beginning Roussalka (Mermaid) predominantly received French holiday-makers while today a lot of Belgian, Dutch, Russian and Bulgarian tourists visit the resort. The village of Kamen Bryag (Stone Shore) is in the vicinity of the resort and there are interesting rock formations, and wonderful rocky bays with many caves and reefs. This is the favourite site for students, trackers, hippies and tourists in search of privacy. The impressing Yailata landslide is situated 1 km south of the village.
