Mamaia Beach
Plaja Mamaia
A narrow sandbar resort about 8 km long between the Black Sea and Lake Siutghiol. It is Romania's most famous beach.
Mamaia lies north of central Constanța. It is a narrow sandbar between the Black Sea and the freshwater Lake Siutghiol, with about 8 km of fine-sand beach lined with hotels, beach clubs, restaurants and nightclubs. In summer it is the liveliest seaside resort in the country. On the lake side you can try water sports or take a boat to Ovid Island. The beach is free, but loungers and umbrellas cost extra. Bus or taxi from the city center takes about 15 to 20 minutes. In July and August, book accommodation well in advance.
