Romanian beaches

There is one thing which I like most about this country: it has such a diverse landscape that makes it the perfect destination all year round.

During wintertime, you can enjoy the snow and practice skiing in the beautiful Carpathian Mountains, while during summertime you can relax at the beach to get the perfect tan.

There are many beautiful Black Sea beaches spread all over the Romanian shore; some of them are wild, while others have all the facilities you can ever dream of.

MAMAIA, ROMANIA - YOU WOULDN'T EXPECT THIS - TRAVEL WRAP UP VLOG

From all the strips of sand from the Romanian shore I have picked up for you the most beautiful of all:

1. Modern Beach

There are two beautiful strips of sand in Constanta: Modern and Trei Papuci, both being upgraded into great spots for bathing in the last couple of years.

Between these two strips of sand, Modern is the one I like more because it is located right near the Constanta Casino, an architectural monument dating from the beginning of the 20th century.

1.1 Location and getting there

This beautiful Romania beach is located between Mamaia resort and Tomis Port, being orientated to the east and having sun all day long.

You can reach the beach with public transport, by car or on foot.

If you choose to use public transport then you can choose between local buses and vans known as Maxitaxi.

The following buses go to Modern Beach, one of the most interesting Romania beaches: Bus no. 2, 51, 5, 49, 44, 40, 43; as for the small bus called maxi taxi, no. 301 and no. 303.

Modern, one of the most beautiful Romanian beaches is almost 6 kilometres long and you can rent sun chairs and umbrellas for a small fee.

In the area around the beach, there are restaurants and bars, while a lifeguard service watches you while you are on the water.

If you don’t like to stay in the sun the whole day then you can try to make some new friends and play volleyball and football on the designated areas from the beach.

1.3 Where to sleep

Belle Epoque Boutique Constanta (Adult Only) is our choice for an overnight stay close to Modern beach.

One of the wildest Romania beaches is a natural oasis for those looking to spend some quiet days near the sea.

There is no music, no restaurants and no facilities in the area, it’s just you and the sea and a single bar on the beach from where you can buy your drinks and borrow a book if you want.

The only sounds you are about to hear are coming from the waves and from the gulls.

In the last couple of years, windsurfers and kitesurfers have gathered here to practice these nautical sports as this is one of the best Romanian beaches for watersports.

Because of the crystal clear waters, this is one of the best places for snorkelling and diving; the location of the beach makes from it the ideal place for bird watching, too.

2.3 Where to sleep

Don’t expect to find luxurious accommodation around the area; there are a couple of guesthouses built in the village with the same name.

The easiest and most comfortable way to get to Olimp is by car; you can rent it from Bucharest airport or any other rental office from the city.

The good news is that in less than 4 hours you reach the seaside and enjoy your time spend at the sea.

4.2 Facilities

On the north side of the resort, the beach is wider compared with the southern part, where the beach is bordered by a high sea wall.

The second-largest from all the Romanian beaches from the Black Sea shore is the one from Eforie Nord.

The combination of recreational tourism with treatment makes the resort open to tourists throughout the year.

The treatment bases from the resort attract a large number of Romanian and foreign tourists each year.

Positioned approximately 12 kilometres from Constanta, on the road connecting with the city of Mangalia, Eforie Nord is accessible by train, bus and car.

Like most Romanian resorts from the Black Sea, Eforie Nord does not have a direct connection by train from Bucharest.

You have to change your train in Constanta and the total duration of the trip is around 3 hours, depending on the connection train.

There are direct buses from Bucharest to Eforie Nord and in less than 3 hours you reach the seaside.

I personally prefer to go to the Black Sea by car, as I have the freedom and the mobility to move around, without being conditioned by any bus schedule or train.

8.2 Facilities

Eforie Nord Resort enjoys a wide opening to the sea and a sea wall whose height reaches 30 meters.

This Romania beach has a length of about 4 kilometres, and its width varies between 20 and 100 meters.

It stretches 30 kilometres, all the way to the Sulina beach to the north. It’s wild and basically untouched by man.

It’s great for walking, but you can also take the Trocarici ( a local transportation mean) which will get you there faster.

 

The water is not very deep and you can walk for hundreds of meters and still touch the bottom.

 

Most of the time, the water is actually sweet, not salty, because the Danube flows in the sea just around the corner.

If you’re lucky, you’ll even get a chance to see the wild horses roaming around; ask the locals for more details as they are really nice people.

11.3 Where to sleep

For your overnight stay, I recommend you to sleep at Green Village Danube Delta, one of the most beautiful resorts from the island.

A wide sandy Romania beach located about 2, 5 kilometres from Sulina can be reached on foot in 20-30 minutes or with a maxi-taxi.

Sulina beach is one of the wildest places on the Romanian seaside, but not necessarily because of the difficult access, but because it is a virgin beach.

A few years ago, it was not even known to most of the tourists. It is an isolated beach that can be reached only by water to Sulina, then by foot for about 2 kilometres on the beach.

On the bottom, the sand is disposed in banks from 30 to 30 meters, and among the first two, the water is not very deep.

There are many tourists that believe this place worth wild, so they come way up here just to enjoy the calm of this little town with a splendid view both over the Danube and the Black Sea.

14. Tuzla Beach

The town of Tuzla has been known only through the activities that took place on the local airfield for years.

Few people know that this small village has a wild beach that is protected by a high cliff and watched by the oldest beacon of the Romanian seashore.

14.1 Location and getting there

One of the most picturesque Romanian beaches from the Black Sea Coast is located half distance between Constanta and Mangalia towns.

The easiest way to reach it is by car.

The road to the beach starts at the sign indicating the direction you must follow to reach the destination.

It is paved to the edge of the village and then continues with a dust road that crosses a field.

There are 233 kilometres from Bucharest to the beach; it will take you about 2 and a half hours to reach the seaside under normal traffic conditions.

But during peak season the highway to the sea is extremely crowded so plan your trip ahead and try to avoid traveling to the seaside on a Friday afternoon, as it might be very crowded.

14.2 Facilities

This Romania beach is hidden from most tourists and is very clean and well maintained.

The place is famous for its crystal-clear turquoise water which is perfect for snorkelling.

In the past few years, restaurants and hotels started popping near Tuzla, attracting more and more tourists.

If you’re looking for hidden gems, you should hurry and visit Tuzla Beach before it becomes mainstream.

The entrance to the sea is steep, the currents are very strong, and from here and there are stones, so you have to be careful.

14.3 Where to sleep

There are not many options when speaking about accommodation in Tuzla as it is not a very popular place among tourists.

 

For our stay in this place, we chose Waitn Sea House Tuzla , an intimate guesthouse located pretty far for the beach. But this is normal for this area, as near the beach there are no constructions.

This amazing Romania beach is covered with fine sand, without stones and excess shells, and the entrance to the water is smooth, the depth of the sea gradually increasing over a fairly long distance.

Mamaia is considered to be the most luxurious summer destination in Romania.

The prices for accommodation and food are pretty high so don’t choose Mamaia Beach if you’re on a budget.
