Lake Durankulak (Bulgarian: Дуранкулашко езеро) is a brackish lagoon (liman) in northeastern Bulgaria, separated from the Black Sea by sand dunes and a beach strip.[1][2] It is situated along the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast near the village of Durankulak in Dobrich Province, some six kilometers south of the Bulgaria–Romania border. It is a protected area with many rare plant and animal species and also contains the archaeological site of Durankulak, situated on the larger of the lake's two islands.[3]
