The Pomorie Lake is a natural hyper saline lagoon situated along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast north of Pomorie. In the past, Pomorie used to be an island, which was later connected to the land through two sand strips – westwards and northwards.
Today, the lake is separated from the sea by the northern sand strip, which is about 5 km long and 50 m wide. Sand dunes covered with specific vegetation have formed along this sand strip. The black color of the sand strip is due to the high concentration of ferrous oxide.
