They are in the southern part of the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast, 7 km south of Sozopol, on the old road to Primorsko, just after the Dunes Resort (1 km). The place is popular with the name “the driver's beach” because of the close proximity of the asphalt road to the beach. The Alepu marsh is located at the foot of the Bakarlaka and Kukuv Bair to the north and Andreya Bair to the south, opposite the bay enclosed by Cape Agallina to the north and Cape Khumata to the south. Alepu is a popular site for naturalists to observe rare birds, as the marsh is a stop-over, a resting place, on the migratory route of the Via Pontica. It is also a wintering place for some bird species.
