IF you are looking for beautiful beaches without the crowds, there is a holiday destination just a few hours from the UK.
And with cheap flights and hotels, it won't break the bank this summer either.
Why Kavarna?
While most Brits flock to Bulgaria's Sunny Beach, there is another seaside resort with beautiful beaches but without the crowds.
Kavarna is around 40 miles north of Varna, with direct flights from the UK.
Wizz Air operates direct flights from the UK to Varna, for as little as £18 each way.

And Bulgaria was named as one of the cheapest holiday destinations for Brits, according to the latest research from Love Holidays.
The country doesn't use the euro, so you can get much more for your money when booking trips and when on holiday.
Food and drink is cheap too, with a bottle of beer as little as 45p, according to the Post Office money report.
When booking a trip, the summer is the best time to visit, with highs of 27C across the coast.

There are also beach showers and restaurants and cafes across the pier, along with umbrellas you can rent for around £2.
Down the road is also Bendida Beach, which tourists have likened to Greece and said is the most "beautiful beach in the country".
