Vama Veche Beach
Plaja Vama Veche
The southernmost beach on Romania's Black Sea coast, right by the Bulgarian border. A hippie beach known for its free spirit, camping and beach bars.
Vama Veche (meaning “old customs house”) was a retreat for intellectuals and artists during the communist era, and it still has a bohemian character. On the beach you can pitch tents, light bonfires, play guitar and drink at beach bars that stay open all night. This is very different from the large resorts to the north. The sand is fine and the water clear. The northern stretch is quieter, while the southern end is right next to the Bulgarian border. Folk You! and other music festivals are held in July. Weekends draw large crowds, so book accommodation in advance. The beach itself is free, but the sunbeds charge a fee.
