Tyulenovo lies along Bulgaria’s northern Black Sea coast, where open water meets a low limestone shore carved into inlets and sea caves. The village stands in Dobrich Province near the Romanian border, on a lightly developed stretch of coastline rather than beside a resort promenade. Its name recalls the monk seals that once used the caves; tyulen is Bulgarian for seal. Beneath the coastal plain lies the Tyulenovo oil field, discovered in 1951 and regarded as Bulgaria’s first commercial oil field. Divers and boat trips explore the caves and clear coastal waters, while the cliffs remain the area’s defining feature.
