Why We Feel Drawn to Live by the Sea

Owning a home in a coastal region is a source of joy, regardless of age or marital status. It appeals to independent women who run their own businesses and dream of relaxing in warmth and tranquility. It’s perfect for families seeking more vitamin D for their children and shallow waters for summer fun that lasts beyond just one week per year. Retirees, drawn to nature and healing air, and men, whether for vacations or as a place to settle down with their future family, also find the allure irresistible.

Psychological Calm and Well-Being

Scientists confirm that people living near water, especially the sea, experience lower levels of stress and anxiety. Visual contact with water stimulates the brain areas associated with relaxation, triggering happiness hormones like serotonin. Studies reveal that around 72% of coastal residents report above-average life satisfaction. Experiments conducted in the UK also indicate that those who spend more time by the sea are less prone to depression and anxiety disorders. Moreover, marine climates promote longevity, with studies showing that coastal residents live an average of 2–4 years longer compared to those in urban areas with poor environmental conditions.

Physical Health and Longevity

Beyond mental health benefits, living near the sea is scientifically proven to positively impact physical health. Marine air is rich in ions that enhance respiratory function, and regular exposure to fresh air strengthens the immune system. Notably, coastal areas tend to have longer life expectancies. For example, in Italy and Greece along the Mediterranean coast, the average lifespan exceeds 85 years. The Bulgarian Black Sea coast is also recognized for its ecological benefits, promoting healthy living and longevity.

Survey Results and Research

International surveys among people who have moved closer to the sea show that 85% report improved quality of life. About 70% claim that the marine climate has enhanced their health. Moreover, coastal living encourages a more active lifestyle—swimming, beach walks, and water sports help maintain good physical condition.

Economic Appeal

In addition to psychological and physical advantages, Bulgarian seaside resorts such as Sunny Beach and Sveti Vlas offer opportunities to purchase property at attractive prices. For example, in 2024, housing prices at Bulgarian resorts are significantly lower than in many European countries. According to statistics, one-bedroom apartments near the sea range from €50,000 to €80,000, making them accessible to foreigners.
