Black Sea Coast

From World travel guide

The beaches of the southern shores have been developed into summer resorts and are Romanians' favorite holiday spots. The resorts stretch from Mamaia, just north of Constanta, all the way down to the Bulgarian border. Beaches are wide and long with a fine, soft sand; the sea is tideless and without fish of prey. There are resorts tailored to all tastes and ages, with hundreds of hotels in a variety of sizes and price categories lining the seashore. While mainly a summer playground, some resorts also have health spas specializing in therapeutic water, massage and mud cures; these remain open year round. It's best to reserve accommodations through one of Bucharest's tourism agencies before heading to the coast. They can help you decide which resort best suits your tastes and budget.
