Balchik is not a very hitchhiker-friendly place when it comes to sleeping options. Lots of large and expensive hotels and the beach mainly consists of rocks. There is, however, one very very nice place to pitch your tent (and maybe the only one in Balchik). To get there, walk east on road number 27 until the road splits and the main road is going up the hill, this is where you can see a sign pointing to 'Topola Skies Resort'. Don't follow number 27 but take the road that goes next to the sea (there are some trees in between this road and the sea). Walk around 500 m until you see an old lighthouse. Continue on this road (don't go to the lighthouse) and walk 300 m further.

In the morning some Bulgarian families might come here to swim, but they're only going to this particular spot because they want to escape the bustle of the touristic beaches of Balchik and are very unlikely to bother you.
